I noticed that in your settings you allow 5 strategies to trade the same symbol at the same time. Does this increase the volatility of the portfolio - looks like you could have 1/2 of the portfolio invested in one symbol? You can use the Trade Multiplier settings when you add the Portfolio to an account to adjust the trade allocation to anything you want. In an IRA; Trade multiplier of .20 = 2% / trade X 5 = 10% max / symbol Trade multiplier of .40 = 4% / trade X 5 = 20% max / symbol In a Margin Account (using 200%); Trade multiplier of .40 = 2% / trade (Of Margin Equity) X 5 = 10% max / symbol (Of Margin Equity) Trade multiplier of .80 = 4% / trade (Of Margin Equity) X 5 = 20% max / symbol (Of Margin Equity) I’ll use a picture to try to explain things on the Elite Trader site and hope I don’t just muck things up; Let me know if this helps - or not...???
