In order to have greater control in AutoTrade and Port Sim account allocation, it would be nice to be able to select more than one "Allocation Constraint" and "Allocation Method" for Port Sim and "Trade Size" and "Max % Equity" in AutoTrade. An example might be: limit "Per Trade Allocation" (Trade Size) to $10,000 while limiting "Max Allocation" (Max % Equity) to only 75% of the account. Fred Gordon

I agree, and have requested something like this before ...

I'd like to be able to select the *minimum* number of shares from two different rules:
Percent of Equity
Risk-Based (Turtle Trader option)

That would, for me, be very helpful ... it would help ameliorate the need for the longstanding request I've had for a formula-based Allocation spec.
