Please keep thread clean. This in NOT a thread about jack hershy. If you have an opinion re risk size for a good trade please post your opinion.

Got the answer. Only 2% to 5% no matter how "good" the trade looks. Do others agree?

The question is not if a good trade exists. The question is, if/when there is one how much would you risk. That's it

I agree all of that is a concern. So do you risk 2%, 5% 15% 35%...

1/1.5

Ok..

Kelly/5 can still be 16% risk. Quite high

95% statistical probability.

I was thinking about something like the following. Use a fixed amount of risk/loss you ready to take per trade (1%, 2% etc) size the position accordingly. If trade is profitable, on the next trade, be ready to lose half of the profit of earlier trade on top of regular max risk. With that setup...

Thanks. Next?

Nice numbers. Where did you end the year? How much was your max monthly DD?

Let me enter some idea here, something like a swap between 2 (or more) funds. 20% of fund 1 returns after fees go to fund 2 investors, while 20% of fund 2 returns after fees goes to fund 1 investors. So if you perform bad 1 month your fee will suffer, while the client’s money would hold more...

How correlated are you with the market?

Good job.

Makes alot of sense, would work on it. As for proving authenticity, i have realized that those people would just never become convinced..

Sharpe is 2.3, while max DD is 3%. Hope to get to Sharpe over 3 with in the next month.

I am not a money manager, and I wasn’t talking about 10% DD in a month. I was referring to daily peak to valley DD, with an absolute cap of 10% DD in a worst case scenario. (Usually in order to be able to figure out a max DD in a worst case scenario, I would want to see a max 4-5% DD in...
