Multi-System Portfolios
Trading a portfolio of systems may provide improved results and smooth out your equity curve. Also when a system is not in a trade the money in your account is just sitting there unused, and using multiple systems can put that money to work more often.
Trading a portfolio of systems can provide increased profits with smaller relative drawdowns. Why is this? Because the total profit of the portfolio equals the profit of each system added together, and if the max drawdown for each system does not happen at the exact same time, the portfolio drawdown is less than what the drawdown would be for each system added together. Since relative drawdown is less, more systems per capital can be used, and profit potential is increased. Note: there is no guarantee that if one system is in a drawdown, another won't be. Utilizing systems with low correlation increases the chances that drawdowns do not coincide.
All system and portfolio performance results on this website include commission and slippage and are non-compounded results (profits are not reinvested). Be careful when looking at performance results on other websites - not all system vendors include slippage and commission in their results. Commission and slippage are real trading costs and must be accounted for!
See below or the links in the menu on the left for suggested system combinations. The portfolios below are suggestions, however you may trade any combination of systems you wish. Want a custom portfolio report? Please contact Gary and tell him which systems you want to see combined and he will email a performance report to you. Or send your account size and the maximum drawdown amount you are comfortable trading and Gary will email you a portfolio that fits your requirements based on hypothetical historical results.

ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT ACTUALLY BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE OVER OR UNDER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS SUCH AS A LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT.
