Managing Number of Positions Per System

Is there a easy way to keep a specific system from opening up all its positions on a pair? I learned the hard way ealry in my demo account with agressive systems that if they say their max. open positions is "10" that they will almost always open up near 10 positions. If you have even 2 such systems in your portfolio you could end up with up to 20 bad trades open up instantly. How can we regulate short of trying ALL the systems for a pair and charting their behavior in terms of how many positions they will open up? If so can you please list detailed instructions on doing so? Thank you!
