Default moving up with 10 buyins while 6 tabling

I was having a chat with a friend on aim where I told him IM gonna start with 400 bucks and start 6 tabling the 6max nl games on stars. I move up the next level when I have 10 buyins for the next level. If I go on a downswing in the middle of playing and Ive reloaded my entire bankroll on all my tables Ill just move down. I am wondering what my risk of ruin is with this bankroll challenge is.

Very Significant.....more so if you have a LAG style of play. Short-handed play has lots of swings.
You need 20-30 buy-ins. Assuming you are a winning player.

You can't answer this question unless you address the following :

1)What is your win rate while multi-tabling?
2)What is your s.d while multitabling ?
3)What is your personal risk tolerence?
4)Do you suffer from tilt ?

Once you answer some of these questions , you may plug your numbers into this formula :

B=-sigma^2/(2u)*lnr

where u=win rate
sigma=s.d ; sigma^2=variance
r= risk
