Yeh well its possible to look at it from a number of veiw points.


Here is mine.

I know that from 5000 portfolio tests that not ALL will trade the same infact the difference is dramatic.150% to 550% return.according to testing.


Now I maybe lucky and get on the 550% one or Unlucky and get on the 150%. ( IE The portfolio I end up filling and consequently trading.)


I could do as you say but I'm not going to be sure which one I'm on until years of trading has elapsed.

I feel trading  different portfolio's of the same AND/OR different portfolio's of a different method/s (which will also have their high return and low return portfolio's) is mitigating risk----that I wont get in the lowest one---rather than maximising profit that I can get in the highest one---Thats just the way I think---defensive---and if I get that right the rest will follow.



Maybe its good thinking,maybe some think its not.

If I had data back 50 yrs it may show that the deviation is non existant over that time and If I was 20 then it wouldnt matter.(This can NEVER happen (Have a tested result) as its impossible to have a margin list accurate after 6 mths---yes another topic re accuracy of  results from present day data----we will be here months discussing this---no problem---gets people thinking out of the square).


At 50 I need it right for the next 10 yrs so I can enjoy it!!
