The higher the likelihood for a trade to go your way the more contracts you would like to buy. By ranking and filtering all trade signals for a portfolio on any given trading day you can achieve this. For this to work your system needs to keep track of all markets simultaneously. For a broad futures-markets portfolio measuring and ranking the most recent trends strength is one way to do it.
