"You may want to move this conversation to Subject 8128 - a much more appropriate thread for ruminations on program based system trading" I'm just responding to your comments. You replied to me to start this. Are you on the trendvue payroll? "Excuse me? You are just plain wrong here. I cannot believe that you're saying what you just said - what are you advocating? Equal dollar amounts? Equal numbers of shares/contracts regardless of things like volatility, account size etc? Some other kind of averaging? And heck, even all that falls under position sizing. The only time you're not "using position sizing" is when you use some random number generator to come up with a position size to trade when your system gives you a signal." How can someone be "plain wrong" when discussing the market. No one understands the market. Not even you. Placing a constant trade size can prolong ones account. Scaling up in size can blow out ones account real fast. No one knows how the next trade will go.
