there is any easy way through Multicharts Portfolio Trader to set a Max Number of Open Position (like in amibroker) to reduce account size required in a TS portfolio ?
For example i would like, in a portfolio of 25 system, to limit the max number of open position at 15.

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Yes, but that's again where the Money Management Signal would come into play and only allow a certain number of entries to take place. The others couldn't go through without the Money Management allowing them first.
Even if 10 signals want to enter at the same time, but you only have 2 open spots left you can manage it properly, so only 2 spots would be entered.
Thank you for answer, maybe i've understood, but i think that the main problem persist when many signals are triggered exactly at the same time.
For example, i'm totally out from market and to the next bar 8 signals will be triggered at the same time, so what happen if i use GV or Portfolio trader and i want to limit signal to 3 per time?
At 11:00 o'clock 8 signals sees "empty slots", so if they are triggered exactly at the same time, they pass without seeing our portfolio management.
I think that the only way is to give a little delay to all signals (like 2-3 seconds but it means slippage...) so they have time to see if there's place for them
They can't pass without going through the Money Management Signal first. This basically sits on top of your signals and ultimately allows or blocks an entry.
Take a look at the Portfolio Trader Manual, there are a couple of examples and graphics explaining the process.
