Jerry,

If you have several copies that go long at the same time your risk level is not 0,05 as with one copy of MD, but its corresponding multiple. So if all your copies are set with risk level 0,05 and you are running 6 clones your effective risk level is 0,3 which is pretty high. You mentioned in the other thread that scalpers use unsustainable stop losses, however using the multiple copies you are compounding not only profits but also... risk.
