That is about right, many times I take 1/2 of Kelly's size.

Have you tried to analyze your fx trades ? I trade both fx spot and fx futures options and have been doing well from very beginning. Below is what I feel I have been doing right, ** only my two cents of course ** Do opposite what most fx traders do, which is Never day trade fx, I usually...

Or to take the opposite position, then you won't have a loser at all.:D

The spread I trade is usually a speculative play in that I intend to close out the short leg early when the direction goes against me initially. I know ALL options books oppose it, but I think it is OK if you plan to do so *before* you place the trade. This way, if the direction is right from...

I cannot agree more, know when to use options and when to trade undelying is the trick of the trade. I missed many opportunities just because I always thought in an options traders' way.

1. Use Interactive brokers as my prime broker. 2. Have a Bloomberg terminal 3. Self sufficiently funded, 4. Lot of experiences in all four markets ( Equity, Bonds, FX and Commodities ), plus futures and options. I don't have investors lined up yet and I am not able to trade many...

I heard IB is marketing their prime broker business and bought FutureTrade a while back. Does this mean IB is a good candidate as a prime broker ? Does any hedge fund actually use IB ? If not, what is missing ?

1. what is a prop firm ? Any example ? Is IB a prop firm ? 2. What is the difference between a prop trader and an individual trader ? 3. If there are some differences, what are the benefits of bing a prop trader ?

Is Interactive Brokers considered as a prop firm ? Do I need trade in their location ? Will I be employeed by them ? How are they different from a hedge fund ?

Stick to whatever makes money for you.
