  1. If you find a trade with a high probability (95% confidence rate) of making a nice profit, how much % of account value would you risk? 2%? 5%? 15%? 35%?
     
  2. Probably around tree fiddy...

    forget about your measly 95%...every day i woke up with 100% confidence rate. problem is confidence rate is not a proper measurement for this game.i would prefer something like odds or statistical probability :)
     
  6. 95% statistical probability.
     
  7. Kelly/5 can still be 16% risk. Quite high
     


  8. There is no such thing as a "high probability" trade.

    You trade, you risk, period.
     
  9. Ok..
