Systems, page-33

Thanky my 50% return on margin isn't really all that impressive.  Given that the average margin % that I'll be using is around 10%, the return on the equivalent capital would be 5%.  The margin just lets me take advantage of leverage in a smart way.  My $100k capital will let me open a total number of positions of equivalent capital up to about $1 Million.  Hence the need to have well tested system with well defined rules, and method for monitoring the health of the system.  it will be a system that is based on the maximum risk per trade, i.e the max amount I am willing to lose on each trade. Really if I get a return of anything less than 100% on margin I'll be disappointed.
