"You can live off it , but it trades like shit!"
If you are fully loaded (ie the risk to stop levels of all positions in the portfolio is 40%) and all positions simultaneously hit their stop level and you exit the positions at that level, then you will lose 40% of the portfolio by value. A $100m portfolio will be reduced to $60m.Max Sector Risk: 10%
Max Total Risk: 40%
Anthony would you be so kind as to post a table of the data that this graph is based on? I would like to do a version adjusted for inflation.

I try to match my holdings to my expected future consumption. To the extent that some of my future consumption is Martin Randall tours I need some holdings in GBP. As most of my consumption is local I think it makes sense to have a bias to my local currency.

Rather like the argument against market cap weighting for stock investment, do you really want the great majority of your assets in USD or Yen or whatever? Or would you prefer a more equal weighted approach?
How can this be modified for those of us that don't have Builder?AFJ Garner wrote:Sluggo reminded me today that the 3rd line of the Can Fill Order Script of the Thermal BBBO RM Blox needs to be "commented out" for a sytem such as the Donchain which uses stops.
