Hi,
I think sometimes we get too bogged down on designing a system and forget about the bigger picture. ie portfolio management and money management.
Below is a link to discussions from acary. He discusses some ideas of having multiple diversified systems to manage risk.
Although it is incomplete there are a few pearls.

I trade a large portfolio of products but I am still not convinced I have a good grasp of how many markets I really need in my basket to have the best diversification. Currently I am spread across commodities, forex and stock indices. I have effective systems to trade these markets on different time frames but have not yet applied anything to bonds.
I think that somewhere around 6-10 markets can provide sufficient diversification but it is probably better to include the 20 majors. I know hedge funds who trade well over 100 but think this is more due to liquidity requirements than diversification.
