Ah ok, yes I didn't even think of the diversification. That's a good point. Do you incoroprate some sort of ranking of the strategies; how do you choose what strategy to trade if two or more of your strategies gives you signals at the same time? Do you ever close a position only to open a...

Thanks, I'll check it out!
