The
quote 
from Mark Larsen is fair, and appropriate for anyone who intends to set up and trade a portfolio of EA's, or even manual trade several diffferent systems. There is still a lot we dont know, and a lot of unexpected suprises, and potential for losses. Trading a basket of EA's does make sense in this concern, but there is a big problem here. Not all of these EA's are worthy of inclusion in a portfolio. In fact, even among the commercial EA's that Mark tests and recomends there are lots of questionable systems.
I think that more than attempting to diversify for the sake of a portfolio, what is really needed is a proccess of elimination and choosing. Which is sort of what we're doing here. No sense in adding inferior or redundant robots to a portfolio. Idealy a couple of robots that can do different things, on different pairs with equal success, from
trend 
riding, to swing trading, to scalping. Each one adds a slightly different aspect to the mix, and if all are done successfully the end result can be great.
Wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing. -- -- Warren Buffet ...
