I did a post back in June about combining ATM with Follow The Money HD; https://www.omnitrader.com/currentclients/otforum/thread-view.asp?threadid=15773&posts=6 That post went into detail about the benefits of merging portfolios that happen to trade at different times, and it’s interesting to follow up on it 2 months later… Here are some examples of various weightings of ATM Macro & Micro with Follow The Money HD since the first of the year in a 200% margin account. 1) ATM at 1X and FTM HD at 1X; 2) ATM at 1X and FTM HD at 1.5X; 3) ATM at 1X and FTM HD at 2X; 4) ATM at 2X and FTM HD at 2X; Some interesting relationships. When using 2X and 2X, the trades range from 10% to 15% of available equity (margin), so comfort level vs trade size can have an effect. These are the settings used for the accounts; Not sure what the effect would be using WT3 Short Term vs RTM7, but thought I’d respond to your question about results in these difficult times… Good luck, Mark [Edited by mholstius on 8/26/2018 4:58 PM] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
