From Gut Feelings to Mathematical Precision

March 2024

Starting Point

"I was using 2% risk per trade on everything. Didn't matter if it was Bitcoin or some altcoin I'd never heard of. Same percentage, same hope it would work out."

May 2024

Understanding Volatility

"The volatility module changed everything. Learning to adjust position sizes based on ATR and correlation matrices made my portfolio much more stable."

August 2024

Kelly Implementation

"Implementing Kelly Criterion with fractional sizing was the breakthrough. My win rate stayed the same, but drawdowns decreased significantly."

December 2024

Systematic Approach

"Now I calculate expected value for each setup, adjust for correlation, and size positions mathematically. The emotional component is almost gone."
