I set risk per system using percentage, I choose number using backested max drawdawn like an anchor. I normalize all portfolio systems to have max 10% drawdawn for chosen backtest period. And stop trading system then they reach 15% drawdawn (max dradawn * 1.5, because worst drawdawn still to come). You can use something similar smile However if you using adding, probably there is need for a lot smaller risk, because it can grow big very quickly. And if you have few correlated systems, then it can be devastating smile Hope it helps

I'm very interested in how you allocate funds to a portfolio of systems.   Currently what I am doing is allocating a percentage of available margin to each system - so if i'm running 30 systems, I give 1% allocation for inital positions.   

Where I am confused how to handle - is my systems will add positions on winners. So an additional 1% per add.

I'd love some new ideas - how do you manage your position sizing for a portfolio of systems?
