Why do you limit the maximum drawdown on the account? - page 3

 

In my opinion, it's simple.

You take your risk capital. Divide it in two parts. For example, 30/70 percent. You put 30 percent in a deposit to work on, and 70 percent in a bank account, for example, as reserve capital. You can also choose not to keep these funds in the bank, but to use them somehow, it is important that they can be immediately used for trading as soon as the need arises.

"Turn on reinvestment and work in peace. If the size of the securities account changes more or less, then the 30/70 ratio is violated, and it is clear that it must be periodically restored. The risk of a deal is calculated depending on the amount of risk capital available at the moment, the profit factor and diversification, but it is a separate topic, it is not that simple and cannot be explained in a nutshell.

In general, what I have written is a very simplified scheme and is simply an answer to the question of the topic.

That's the trap.

If there is more money in the account than the trader is willing to lose, then there is a chance that sooner or later the balance will be used up and, accordingly, can be drained.

I'm not going to argue because I'm lazy, no energy and in the end - useless....)))

I know your arguments by heart... I watched the ignoramuses Demura and Karabianz in this case. so it's ok to spread ignorance.
 
LeoV:


An investor who invests a large amount in a PAMM wants to make as much profit as possible, but also wants to limit his or her losses.

What is not clear about that? ))))

It's all clear with this one.

If you have a max. drawdown of 20%, what do you need the other 80% of your funds for?

If the lift weighs 1 ton, why do you need 4 ropes, each of which can withstand up to 25 tons at break? Why do you need spring buffers at the bottom of the shaft?
Why do you need a speed monitor, etc.?
The answer is obvious - for reliability: life is expensive.

What makes you think you'll have a 20% slippage? What if it goes up to 80%? The market can give you any shit.

Also, calculate what the probability is of a 20% drawdown and an 80% drawdown on your system and compare those probabilities.

What's clear? What's the contradiction?

he wants profits based on the size of the entire investment, BUT he wants to limit the losses to some part of it. Isn't that nonsense?

1. the comparison with a lift is incorrect in principle.

2. I don't think you understood what the message was.

1. it's a person's life Dima, it's priceless. When you open a business (deposit), you are risking your investment, not your life.

2. Read the first topic.

he wants a profit, counting it against the size of the entire investment, BUT he also wants to limit the losses of his investment. is this not nonsense?

An investor who invested in PAMM 2000 will, at the end of the day, receive a profit of 2 times that of an investor who invested 1,000.

 
PapaYozh:

An investor who invests 2,000 in a PAMM will make twice as much profit as an investor who invests 1,000.


Yes, but the investor, for the purposes of this question, should understand why he has received more... by taking a bigger risk. Leo's answer does not imply that.
