Some comment... It is right... But after drawdown you must have: 1) Margin for open 11 mini lots, and margin for some fluctuations of market. So real margin for trade is about 1:20. 1:11 for open positions, and some for fluctuations(100 pips in average, then margincall). 2) Average drawdown is about 1000 pips. So 1 system per 1000$. It is normal. 3) The systems has strong correlation. But in books i read one's formula for portfel of systems. Drawdowns of all system is = sqrt(system1_drawdown*system1_drawdown+ system2_drawdown*system2_drawdown+...) 4) After about 6 month we will see some result, right now is still ñasually...
Hi igor00 Thanks for the very usefull feedback. I undertand my current portfolio is not very "smart", when it comes to money managemnt issues. My main purpose of this portfolio and the account is to evaluate the strategies of different systems. The most intersting thing I have discovered so far was when a swing signal for one pair making losses, a short term signal comes in to the market for the opposite side and act as a hedging trade and minimize my losses of the swing trade signal . This has happend atleast 80% of the time. When I initially picked the systems for my portfolio , my main purpose was to select a combination of swing and short term systems for each pair. so far this portfolio has performed exactly how I expected and as you mentioned I wish to run this system atleast for the next 6 months before I come to any conclusions.
