Trade 2 live accounts - one with full balance, 2nd as a live test?

So apparently FF now limits title length. That's cool.

Anyways, I was wondering how many of you trade the same EA on MT4/5 on two different accounts. The first account would essentially contain all your trading capital and trades accordingly on only a few pairs or perhaps even just one. The second account contains a much smaller amount and trades many pairs, but for much smaller dollar amounts. Pips would equal pennies on the dollar.

The benefits I see to this would be it would provide a real life live forward testing against many pairs with low risk to my trading balance. This is to give me true analysis of what pairs are working best week to week, month to month, etc and I could then make sure to trade that pair on the main account.

Some questions I'd have are:

1. How many pairs did you end up trading on the main account and the sub-account?
2. Did you find after months/years that even though you traded several more pairs on the sub-account than the main account, were the same pairs consistently proving themselves as the best to trade with your system?
3. If you live traded the same pair on the main account and the sub account at the same time, did you ever notice discrepancies in the results between the two?
4. Do you feel your trading results were any better than if you did the same thing, but for the sub-account you only did it with a demo account?

Just wondering if this is something worth considering.

Thanks,
Matt
