hi again,
should we use variable lot size based on % of the capital rather than a fixed lot size? the fixed lot size implies the risk may be increased if we trade more in the basket in this case.

I haven't discussed too much on money management but I will be using a % risk of capital for each basket. It sounds like you already know how to do this, correct?

Yeah, Jamook, using a stop under that laggard makes a lot more sense. The basket is starting to perform now.

The first chart is the NZDCHF. The second chart is the EURNZD. The third is the EURNZD flipped horizontally and overlayed on top of the NZDCHF. Even the pivots are almost identical. This is because EURCHF is so flat. Pretty cool to see if your like correlation ;)

Which raises a question I've been wondering about but too lazy to research... :?
Why is the E/F so flat. I'm not to big on fundamentals. :mrgreen:
