Title: Kelly criterion ELI5 (request) Post by: David Latapie on April 13, 2014, 06:58:55 PM I don't understand how to apply Kelly Criterion (I am bad at math). Could someone explain how to apply it to Bitcoin. Thanks.

For example, if you are buying coins at 400, and closing the trade when price hits 420 or 380 (a 5% move) and you figure it's a 50/50 probability...and your total bankroll is $10000, you can plug those numbers in and it will tell you how much to buy. It's a money management formula. |
