Position Size And Multiple Signals


By waiting for same-direction signals you are stacking the odds on your
side. When I get multiple signals in the same day I tend to increase my
position size. This means that if I were to normally trade 1,000 shares on an
individual setup, I will trade between 1,500 and 3,000 shares on the multiple
setup. Obviously this increases my risk, but my trading results indicate these
risks are sometimes justified.
