Matthew,  
  
I have open positions in my account, and trying to add another system to my portfolio. The Autotrader message warns me that my open positions from the initial system will be closed as soon as I begin autotrading the additional system!!! So, what am I supposed to do in order to create my "hedge fund" of the 2 systems???

To clarify: What the warning message means is that if you opened any positions **manually** in your account (i.e. if you opened them not via AutoTrading) they will be closed.  
  
  
  
If you opened the positions using C2 AutoTrade, there is no issue. You can trade as many systems in your account as you like (provided that you have sufficient capital to trade multiple systems). In other words, AutoTrade will not close positions in systems that it opened, but will close positions that a human being (you) previously opened.
