It worked brilliantly for a long time...I did 140winning trades in a row...and then one time it didn't work and I lost 6.5k and it really put me off using it? I was using a slightly different version of martingale...not double but triple so the average price would come really close to you...

Also while we’re on the subject do you have any thoughts on Ryan Jones’s fixed ratio analysis for compounding profits for maximum growth of the account? In principle it sounds like a great idea and seems to make sense but I’m interested to see if anyone has used it in a practical situation and...

thanks!! :thumbsup:

Thanks for this!

but what about position sizing? If Kelly is not the best way which I agree I dont think it is for trading....what have you guys found the best way to calculate optimum position size?

so fixed ratio by ryan jones is good for compounding the account to grow it much quicker?

Do any of you actually have practical success with Kelly? R Vince says it is not the right model for trading and optimal if is better for trading. I would be interested in your thoughts...

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting!

Position sizing is so critical mathematically to ultimate success from what I've discovered. More so than you instinctively think. There are lots of formula's out there...but which one is the best...

I would like to know the best answer to this- Kelly or Optimal F or any other method?

Also I meant to add....does anyone think using Kelly/Optimal F alongside fixed ratio compounding has been successful for them?

I used to do lots of hedging but it didn't really work for me in the long run. I would be interested to hear if anyone has found it to be a successful strategy...

Yes i completely agree with this. I went through a stage of trying martingale to recovery losses and although 90% of the time it works its the 10% when it doesn't work that really hurts the account!

Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this? I have 14 years trading experience but unfortunately it was long in to my trading experience before I realised the paramount importance of sound money management. Just wondering if any one has successful personal experience of using optimal f. I...

I thought according to Ralph Vince that Kelly was no good for trading when there were always different out comes possible. I believe he was adamant the optimal f was far superior for trading. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!
