This template is a great way to discover which position sizing method works best with your strategy. You can also update and optimize the different money management variables. For instance, the Kelly criterion script allows you to define number of trades to use in the calculation of Kelly% as well as the maximum number of positions or trades to allow in the portfolio. You can update or optimize these variables directly from the simulator manager form.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
