If you have, say, Bronze level, you are limited to portfolios that have only 5 strategies. You can still assemble lots of different portfolios, and the OV-Pro swticher will use whatever ports you have, hopefully resulting in a "switched" portfolio/system that does better than any of those. Conceivably, and I'm only postulating now, OV3 and the Elite Trader program will enable a Bronze or Silver user to subscribe to larger portfolios (more strats) than he/she could otherwise build at his/her membership level. For example, Mark or I might publish a "system" that switches between 2 or 3 of our best portfolios. Under the Elite program, I would think any OV user could subscribe to it regardless of membership level, but to be fair to Gold members, I would expect bronze/silver users might have to pay a higher monthly fee. That said, the cost to upgrade to Gold membership is trivial compared to the dramatic improvement you get from using 10 or more strategies in a portfolio. With a bit of work in Strat Lab and with the right list, one can now get higher returns with only a few strategies, but it generally takes more risk compared to the smoother ports you get with 10 or more strategies. | |
