I can't find a posting in the forum I remember reading about how to set up Account Setting which would result in one of 3 states. I think they were 50% in one symbol, 100% in 2 symbols or No Trades. I don't recall the author. I've literally spent hours looking for it with no success. If anyone can point me to it I would be very grateful.

Maybe try Mark Holstius or Steve Mayo in the Search button criteria, if you haven't already

It's one of Mark's techniques that he demonstrated at the Bash one year; sorry, I can't find that set of slides.

I'm not sure I remember his specific settings, but basically you create your custom symbol+system "strategies" at a high allocation, say 1000%/trade, then use the Portfolio Allocation and Account Settings controls to scale them back, specifically the 'Allow Settings to Reduce', 'Max Exposure per Symbol'.

It's from a presentation that Mark Holstius did at the 2015 Bash. It's in the Nirvana Club Archive.
