    Adding Orders Reduces Profit on a Winning Strategy?

    Hello,

    I must have done something in Strategy Builder wrong. I have a profitable strategy with a single contract but as I add additional contracts the profit goes down and Max Draw Down goes up. I have other strategies that I use and have never experienced this. As I add contracts the profit and drawdown move incrementally. Not so with this current strategy. What would cause the strategy to incur losses by adding contracts? By the way - when I add contracts the strategy is also taking additional trades that it didn't with a single contract even though I didn't change the parameters. Thanks for any help!

    Hello Chessdweeb,

    Are these new orders or are you using a value higher than 1 in the Quantity field in a single order?
