The answer to both questions is to understand what causes fake breakouts: stop hunting. When a trading range develops, stops accumulate above and...
Doesn't matter. Do this experiment: calculate the Kelly bet size for this bet: 0.6: +1 0.4: -1 and then do this one: 0.01: +100 0.59:...
I'm not going to bother going back and reading this entire thread, but it is correct that Kelly should reflect all possible outcomes, not be...
