Sonny,
I have to admit that we probably haven't done sufficient work with this,
especially since it seems to be working just fine. I'll probably do more
work after the book arrives (if I ever get around to ordering it, that it).

Paranoia...you only have to be right once to make it all worthwhile!

Subject: Risk of Ruin
Guy,
1) If I understand you correctly you are risking 33% of your portfolio
balance in any signal position. Most of the reading I've done on money
management calls for using anywhere from 2% to 10% of ones account in any
signal position. I know you stated that you use to use 50% of your account
and discovered that your system did better when using 33% of your account on
any signal trade. I was wondering if you have tested any of the lower
figures such as 10% with your system? And if so how were your results in
comparison to 33%?
2) Would someone post the mathematical formula for figuring out the
profit/lost ratio for a system. I haven't used it for a while and haven't
been able to find it. Thanks to all.
Happy Trading,
-Sonny-
