Look. When you have a new opportunity to enter a new trade, take a look across all your current stocks in your portfolio. I constantly have 10-20 stocks. Then its obvious. Cut the losers, hold the winners, stop the bleeding. But if you have no new trades or new chance to profit, just let the...

I do not have any so-called personal experiences or examples, can't tink of any. But all I can say is when you have good probability for a trade, then going into with 10-20% of your AUM might help get the returns you want. If its risky, or even side betting, then I guess 3-5% would do well...

Based on event driven or economic or a single stock, news that will move the prices. I'll repeat: Nice size but stock slumps: - If Fed announces interest rates to 0.5% - If the company issues more shares - If multiple hedge funds dumps the stock together - If unemployment rate rises to...

Im surprised. I think im not a novice trader anymore. When the guy in the video link starts explaining "technical charts", things that happen of a past/history, everything he say is magical. I took less than 20 seconds to view the entire video. More surprise to see forum replies... if u guys...

Eg. I have 100 positions. 30 are losing and 70 are winning. I cut. My losing trade is 30%. Continously do this and your losing trade % keeps going higher. But wait, what about the rest of the trades ? They are having profits and running up. Now I may have 60% losing trades or more, simply...

I trade whenever I see an opportunity, when the returns are more than the risks involved. ie. arbitrage. Who cares how much I have made for the day, when theres a chance to profit, wouldn't not want to ? :)

Take away your Trade ratio. It shows nothing. My Trade winning % are like 45+% so far, but my entire acct is profiting over the past 2 years. Simply because all the winning trades are still in my portfolio, I cut the rest of losing trades You mention trading right ? Means you have to look at...

Then i shall be the Black Swan. Theres a chance of 50% up, 50% down, and 50% stays sideways. Its hard for a coin is stay upright though. Perhaps after 10 billion throws ?

Try hedging by looking at over portfolio beta. Else if still not comfortable, short a few similar stocks in the same sector, but the weaker companies. Still not comfortable, like mentioned buy a few puts. If it spike in the opposite direction, reverse the 5 long puts, and short 10 puts instead.

I wld like to ask traders here on 2 things. 1) Calculating a typical portfolio Sharpe Ratio. Say for eg, I have an daily AUM to calculate the PnL on a daily or even monthly basis. Problem is my AUM increases when I add funds into it too. How do I differentiate an increase in AUM is caused...

btw on the quants, they use sophisicated computers that sits right beside the Exchange Computers and trades at speeds of 10-100 trades per microseconds. Thats just roughly 10,000 - 100,000 a sec in case your slow in maths. Take a look at index/futures, relative value arbs, and probably...
