Trying to use different Fixed $ in each market state allocation but ATM won't let me. It sets all Market States to the last one I put in.

Is this a bug or intended? Either way it needs to get fixed. We should be able to use different $ amts in each different mkt state. It allows different % of equity in each market state (Resilient has 50%, 20% and 10%) why not different fixed$?

Same problem with $ to equity

This is with Resilient

Buffalo Bill,

I just tried it - created a new method using % Equity as the starting allocation method (needed when using the "New" button). That set the Default MS to % Equity. I then created a new MS and set it to Fixed $. I then created a third and set it to Fixed Size.

I then navigated between the MS and they all retained what I had previously set them as.

I saved it and re-opened it. The allocation methods were retained.

I conducted this quick test in PR2K (released 5/4).

I haven't run a test through it, but from this quick look, I'm not seeing that ATM changes all MS to a single allocation method and that it can vary by MS.

Did you have a different procedure you were following?

Put 2K on and it's working ok now. Thanks for the tip!
