Sure Babytrader, I understand where you are coming from. I haven't tried a strategy like that so I am interested how it works out for you. With 90% of equity tied up in margin, you run a high risk of margin call which will close out all open positions and take you out of what may otherwise be good positions. Just be careful about opening too many positions and have too little usable margin left over to cushion those adverse market movements.

Additionally, some trades may end up 'off setting' one another. So there is a point of utility where more systems and more currency pairs may not add value at the margin versus what you are giving up (you are using up margin and wiggle room to open positions that essentially cancel out another trade).

Regarding the money management, you are correct the fixed ratio or fixed fractional is a way to funnel more resources to the better performing systems. HERE is a link to describe them further. Essentially on fixed fractional you devote a certain percentage of your account to be risked on each trade. As your account grows, the trade size grows with it. As your account shrinks, your trade size shrinks as well. You will need an idea of how far in pips the stops are typically placed. You can gather some of that information from the INFO column of the PERFORMANCE tab in the platform.

You can go ahead and try those in a demo to get a feel for it. Like I said, let me know how it works for you.

*Past performance posted by Signal and Systems Providers (“Providers”), is not necessarily indicative of future results. No representation is made that any account is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particularly trading program. The composite monthly results are primarily hypothetical results of the master demo and its representation of the Providers, though performance results displayed may represent a combination of live and hypothetical results and are not exclusive to either. There are numerous other factors related to markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results. In the event that specific trades were simultaneously executed in hypothetical and live, real-time trading, the lesser of the two results will be displayed. There is no guarantee that one applying these methodologies would have the same results as the hypothetically posted. Since trading successfully depends on many elements including but not limited to a trading methodology and a trader's own psychology, the web site does not make any representation whatsoever that the above mentioned trading systems might be or are suitable or that they would be profitable for you. Please realize the risk with any investment and consult investment professionals before proceeding. The trading systems herein described have been developed for sophisticated traders who fully understand the nature and the scope of the risks that are associated with trading. Should you decide to trade any or all of these systems' signals, it is your decision.
