KELLY CRITERION | Ed Thorp | Optimal Position Sizing For Stock Trading

KELLY CRITERION | Ed Thorp | Optimal Position Sizing For Stock Trading

The Kelly Criterion calculation was created by Ed Thorp and made specifically to beat the game of Black Jack. Later used by the likes of Jim Simons and even Warren Buffet to determine position sizing for the financial markets.

I personally use Fractional Kelly to optimise my trading strategy which adapts to my trading performance (or edge) over time.

For those interested I also include my stock trading spreadsheet and Kelly Criterion calculator to calculate position sizing.
