Hi,
Does anyone know how to allocate a percentage of your portfolio to futures and equites without running separate simulations? I want to use the TMA strategy but allocate 60% of my portfolio to futures and the other 40% to equities. Appreciate any thoughts.

Make a copy of the system you wish to use. Run the original system and the copy side by side in the same suite with one trading a futures portfolio and one trading an equity portfolio. That is the way it is done since a system must trade one portfolio and a portfolio cannot mix instrument types.

How do you make a copy? According to the user guide "Select the system to copy, press the copy system button, and enter a new name." However the guide does not direct me to the "copy system" button. Maybe it is not appearing beacuse I purchased the Turtle System? Thanks.

Ah, the you can't edit systems with the Turtle Edition, so my advice doesn't work for you. The Turtle Edition only runs the built in systems or ones that a Builder Edition user encrypts and provides.
