    Does anybody have a view on whether risk management is easier when trading multiple asset classes in shorter time frames? eg. 1 hour versus 1 day?

    I believe it should be easier, as correlations should be 'closer' to zero in the shorter time frames. Any thoughts?

    Risk management is the same regardless of which chart (timeframe) you are trading.
    Maximum exposure should be 1-2% of you a/c per trade and a maximum of 5-6% in total exposure.

    While this is correct, it is not what southbank meant in terms of risk.



    Southbank the guys on here that know the answer to your question won't tell you, it's a case of finding out for yourself. Which asset classes are you looking at?
