Hi Buffalo,

What you observe makes perfect sense - and I'd planned on posting about it soon.

My Follow The Money portfolio takes a LOT of small trades. The combination of a high HR and small allocations lessens the risk somewhat through diversification.

There's a price to be paid though - the commissions can be a negative factor if you're trading a small account.

This can be mitigated somewhat by increasing the allocation / trade (size of the trades), but there's a tradeoff in increased risk if a trade goes against you.

I'll put together a table illustrating some of the combinations when I have time, but could you do me a favor?

Please do a screen capture of your account settings using the procedure below, and confirm that the account is using $10,000 and whether you plan on using margin or not...?



Thanks,
Mark
