Re: single market, multiple signals

Hi Jim,

Depends on the correlation of the two (or more) signals. Personally, I like
the results of trading 2 systems with different approaches and time frames
on the same symbol. The more the logic differs, the better... smooths out
the equity curve.

Have also recently tried combining say 2 contracts on a longer main system,
and adding 1 contract to try and chase faster reversals. This I like better
than simply "in or out" completely. Plays the odds better.

Of course this is different than using 2 time frames such that the longer
acts to filter the shorter.

Best regards,

Gene Pope
