this doesn't make sense to me. could you provide a brief explanation of why u think this?

No the general accting principle is FIFO, first one in, first out. So basically you closed the first contract (bought at 0) out at 7.5 i.e. a profit of 7.5 whilst you now are showing an open loss of 2.5 on the second contract.

It will be mail fraud. Each spoofing attempt is chargeable with 30 yrs in prison and million dollar fine. Not good for Nav.

im gonna read this later, ta

i want to explore this topic more in terms of impact on account size and leverage. Maybe later today or tomorrow.

no, at the respective kelly or half kelly bets, the risk of ruin is the same for each strat. Same goes for 50% drawdown etc

Use half kelly

Yes! Consider doing half kelly bets. If so, after 100 bets, your acct is at 4.52x with strategy A compared to 2.09x for strat B. A is definitely better. Food for thought.

Assume no black swans etc. Assume the win rates are correct over 100 trades. Would you use the same position size in both strategies?

Yes, u r right that both have the same expected value, 0.2 However, position sizing is up to you. Which affects long run results...therefore in the long run, they will not produce the same results. So bearing that in mind, would u still choose strategy B?

i'm none of these. also i'm not your comrade. u r now on ignore.

Strategy A has 60% win rate, 1:1 reward/risk Strategy B has 40% win rate, 2:1 reward/risk You can only choose one strategy. Which one do you pick?

Not huge amounts, are they? I mean, a CIO makes $225k total??!! Doesn't sound right.

No, but you can work it out. Or Google it.

Sure, of course they care about it. Can set up arb opportunities for commercials and funds.

Sarcasm? I helped him. Probably others too.

follow the trend

No. They closed it down a few years ago. The prop traders were all given gardening leave lol. A friend of mine (in London) was one of them.

Surprised your arse don't hurt even more! :p
