interesting...but it should depend on the underlying volatility..it's not 100% positions that are key but rather the max % loss that's possible...eg. 100% positions in a growth and income fund should be safer than 10% positions in futures with 5 to 1 leverage... in fact, this issue of excessive volatility subtly changed my viewpoint on the optimal trading approach as will be evident in my trades from now on... if you could provide more details on your observations re blow ups i would appreciate it...optimal money mgmt has always seemed the key aspect of trading to me so position size is of paramount importance...
