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,
