I'm running modified "Allocation % per trade" Portfolios and see the affects as I expected. So: 1 = Yes 2 = No 3 = Strat Lab output is a new labeled (e.g. Rx-x-SP(1)) strategy, so 'use the default' would be to use the base strategy? Personal approach: Now, instead of making a new Strategy, I adjust the "Alloc" of the Strategy in the Portfolio view. As I see it, basically accomplishes the same as creating a new strat with "Allocation % per trade" defining a new % allocation. Now I only use the "Allocation % per trade" in the Strat Lab to see how strategies run across Lists in equal % allocation. A little less confusing for me. Edit: I understand your point after reviewing strat lab page more. Seems you can reduce, not increase and there is no 'use default'? Never noticed because I was lowering % alloc - I'm a little risk adverse ;-) [Edited by BrianD on 5/12/2014 9:45 PM] | |
