Eric,
 
You are asking the right questions..... yes you have essentially doubled  
your risk.  Particularly if the two different markets are very  correlated.  
 
For example, if you bought two different lots of IBM stock, obviously, they  
are both perfectly correlated and you would have exactly 4% at risk.....
 
If the markets are completely uncorrelated, then maybe by simulation, you  
can show that you are somewhat less risky that 4%.  (US T-Bills and say  Crude 
Oil Futures, would be a pretty good example of uncorrelated markets)
 
Just for confusion sake, buy two lots of IBM using different trading  systems 
for each lot.... think about that one........  probably more than  2% at risk 
here and maybe somewhat less that 4%....
 
Simulation will give you the answer.....

QÀ?If there are two different systems working on different market,  each of 
them takes 2% risks for investment, Am I taking 2% or 4% risks for  
investment?
Thank for any  suggestion
Eric
