Risk control ?

For you guys that trade a system I have a question. Do you take every trade the system signals?

The reason for asking is that sometimes I get several signals and if I take all of them then I would be taking on too much risk. I only put 1% of my account at risk for each trade but sometimes I feel that if I take on more than two trades at a time I am placing too much risk out there. However more often thatn not if I woudl take every trade I woudl come out ahead. I just don't want to end up in a situation where an abrupt move wipes out 5% or more of my account.

Any thoughts would be more than welcome.
