Looks great. One question - when you hold overnight, do you reduce your position size compared to intraday trading?
I believe both commercial and investment banks have proprietary trading arms. Are traders working there called prop traders, too? Anyway, how...
I'm sure it's different from prop firm to prop firm, but what's the standard practice? My guess is semi-monthly or biweekly, but can anyone...
Is it because it often gives you a number larger than 2%? Any suggestions other than optimal f/secure f?
Thanks, your formula seems like what my book calls the secure f, a variation of the optimal f which I have in my original post. The book says...
Are you sure this is true? This example says to multiply the trading capital by the optimal f to determine the optimal position size....

I noticed that most backtesting examples use $100K for initial capital, but doesn't it invalidate the test result? Most of us do not have that...
It's not what it's really worth, but what its perceived value is.
Thanks all for your comments.

Quite surprisingly, this is an independent film. Assuming it had a very low budget, I think the director and Kevin Spacey are very close friends...
Who cares if the U.S. hits the debt ceiling? They will just change the rules. The U.S. still is spending more than it produces. The super rich...
What exactly is intraday swing trading? How is intraday swing trading different from day trading? Thanks.
What you're looking for is a prop firm that requires security deposit. Some provide training and basically you use the leverage they provide to...
Thanks all for your answer.
I have an individual account with Interactive Brokers and want to start each day with the same amount in my account, say $30K. If I have 28K in...
I might not have been clear enough in my earlier post. Going back to my previous example, once you go from 50K to 55K, you only trade 53K, but...
Suppose you're a day trader with $50K in your account. You have a couple of great trades and made $5K by noon. Would be it a good idea to lock in...
Whoa, $10K! Do they let you go if you lose more than $10K then?
