Hi,
I've been tuning my portfolio and have the following issue:
When I doubled the number of slots of a pair in a portfolio, both the CAGRs of the pair and whole portfolio (strategies: 9, max slots: 10) did not change a bit. The margin allocated to the pair is 100%.
I'd like to know why the performance doesn't change.
Thanks in advance

CAGR might not differ much by just changing max slots. It depends on more things. Please read more about slots & money management in the manual in order to understand this perfectly: https://wiki.pairtradinglab.com/wiki/Pair_Trading_Lab_Portfolios
Look at this example:
10 max slots: https://www.pairtradinglab.com/portfolio_backtests/Yi9UHrYB2unsf33-
20 max slots: https://www.pairtradinglab.com/portfolio_backtests/Yi9U0oUW2S5Ou6Do
Focus on the Slot Usage chart...is it more clear now? Think more about relationship of max slots and amount of pairs in the portfolio. CAGR only changed a bit here.
