I do notice that the FXP Strategy on 2/21/14 has a (2) appended, but I suspect that's just because it was a duplicate during your Custom Strategy building process. That said, so far every time I've run into "strange things" with these new ways of using OV I've dug around and found myself (or my lack of understanding of how OV 'actually' works) at fault. First point - I've only used RTMs and VBX1 (with the exception of 2 VERY short term TLB systems and those only on 2 ETFs). I didn't make that point at the Bash, but your trades are a good illustration of why I avoid long term systems. There are a couple ways to "troubleshoot" trade problems. What follows is a way to try to get OV to hopefully expose ALL the trades it will take to see which ones are causing the problem: Try using: 1) Buying Power 100% 2) "Allow Trade Settings" checked 3) Max Exp %/Sym to only 5% 4) Min Trade Size UNCHECKED Then run it at the Account level and check "Display All" for the Historical Positions. At that point I usually copy all the trades and then paste them into excel to make it easier to sort them by date entered, size, etc. Give it a whirl and see if we can find the problem... maybe that PB2 "steals equity" somehow. Maybe edit your Portfolios to contain only RTMs...??? Hint: If you want to do that, just click on the Portfolio and when it comes up with it and the list of the Strategies in it, then you can uncheck all the non-RTMs and save the Portfolio with a NEW Name (that keeps the old one intact) Mark | |
