RE: Scaling out

There is nothing wrong at all with scaling out of or into positions.  But if you do such a thing they should be looked at and analysed as separate systems, and then run in conjunction as part of a portfolio with appropriate position sizing.  The question then becomes which portfolio offers the best return/risk : 

Portfolio A, B, C, AB, AC, BC or ABC?

You probably can't find it because it generally isn't a good thing to
do.  This was discussed on this list this past July under the heading
"Bet sizing question: Scaling".  My answer is here:
