We all have fear. Noone is imune. From your original post it doesn't look like fear to me. It looks like self-sabotage. I recognize it because I've been there many times over the years. I would have a great year, 40+% return and I'd say "OK, that was great now my goal for the next year is 55%"...

You don't need any special software. Just tell your broker to set up a omnibus account linking all the different ones together. You specify in advance how you want the allocation to happen.
