In going through the OmniVest Strategy Library I noticed that each Strategy has an individual "Allocation" percentage. Some are 5%, some 10%, some 15%.
I see how you can input an allocation when you create a strategy by running Strategy Lab. Is there any way to modify the individual Strategy allocation on current Strategies or do you just have to create a new strategy and input a new number when you build it?

Thanks

The individual strategy allocation is only set when the strategy is created. It can't be modified.

Good evening David,

Barry's certainly correct, but after you put a Strategy in a Portfolio you can modify the Allocation it will use for trading in that Portfolio...

Barry, Thanks for the reply. Pretty much figured that would be the case.

Mark, Also appreciate your reply. In my research I had also printed out your excellent post on 8/3/2016 "Portfolio Setting Calculations Spreadsheet". Big help, Thanks.

Dave
