Forexmospherian - One thing about my strategy is it's not for the faint of heart. It might seem to be very high risk. I have no problem exposing my capital to a margin closeout risk. So, I do risk up to 50% of my capital on a regular basis. But, I don't worry too much about this, since i know I can triple my capital pretty easily. I could lose 50% on one set of trades, then turn around and triple it and end up with a 50% increase. So, even if it takes a couple weeks to triple it, it would still average out to 25% a week, which ain't bad.
But as I mentioned before, it's rare that I lose that many trades. In fact, the only thing I worry about in terms of limiting risk, is what I am risking for each trade. My biggest losses have been on single trades, not multiple trades. If I have multiple trades open, I don't worry about the total risk. So, I try really hard to not put too much risk on a single trade. Each trade, I try to limit risk to no more than 10-20%.
I guess, my thought on this is, if you are confident enough in your trading ability to win more trades than you lose, plus you have an acceptable win/loss ratio, why wait to enter them subsequently? If you enter them concurrently, you have automatically hedged yourself with your win/loss ratio, i.e. 1:2, 1:3 etc, and your percentage of trades won. For example, if I know I can win more than half my trades, and I know that I can at least average a 1:3 win:loss ratio, then what would be the problem in entering as many trades as you can all at once? Quicker way to profit
But, I wouldn't have brought up this part of my strategy unless someone asked about it, as you have, since I know it's not something that most people would be comfortable with. Plus, when I build up my capital, I may not be so aggressive, as it won't be necessary. But again, I don't really look at it as any more risk, than if I entered one trade at a time...
