  • The Kelly Criterion is a formula that has been used for decades now by gamblers, investors and traders alike to properly size bets, trades, and positions. The equation looks at both the probability of winning and the amount normally gained or lost to produce the proper percentage to allocate. Without discipline in sizing your bets, one losing trade can wipe you out. If you size each position correctly though, your wins will outperform your losses.

    Cool formula. Options sizing is interesting since the number of shares you're exposed to changes day to day.

    kelly criterion assumes binomial distribution ... but does your return distribution follows binomial? There is risk of ruin because of the fat tail in reality maybe use half or 1/4 kelly... to be safe

    So with a 70% win rate & winning trades at $500 and loosing trades at $250 I'd have a position size of 55%. Did I do the math correct?

    Hey a just a quickie: was the long depression really that bad? Cause i remember you use that part of history to justify how deflation benefits the poor

    • @HeresyFinancial
      @HeresyFinancial  Před 3 lety

      There was MASSIVE inflation (monetary expansion) in the Great Depression. FDR confiscated all the gold to raise the Fed's reserves, which allowed them to print more money. Then he raised the price of gold (lowered the value of the dollar) which allowed them to print even more money. The deflationary forces were still strong enough to lower prices, even with all the monetary inflation. With everyone destitute, can you imagine how much worse it would have been for people had prices not fallen? Low prices was the only thing keeping people from starving to death, and it allowed assets to change hands from the over leveraged to the more responsible at discount prices.

    He he.. thats wrong ! . Short vision! Do a kelly criteria on your long trades winrate and a kelly criteria on your shorts winrates.. your long trades entry condition is different from a short entry condition .. so mixing the thing will not be helpfull .
    We have to think beyond thin public knowledge!

    You don't take in account correlation so this entire video is pointless. Also the sample size used to gather the inputs makes no sense. Unless you're dumbing it down on purpose idk.
