Compound Growth Curve by Bet Size
X: Fraction of capital per trade · Y: Log compound growth rate per trade (long run)
Peak fraction = Full Kelly. Betting more reduces growth and increases ruin risk.
Consecutive Loss Simulation
The loss rate includes leverage. Going all-in means losing 5.0% per consecutive loss. Using Kelly sizing reduces actual account loss as shown below.
Remaining = Initial Capital × (1 − entry ratio × loss rate)^N

Losing Streak Probability
Based on your win rate, the probability of losing N trades in a row. 55.0%
Formula: P(N losses) = (1 − win rate)^N
| Streak Length | Probability | Approx. Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 1× L-streak | 45.00% | 1 in 2.2 |
| 2× L-streak | 20.25% | 1 in 4.9 |
| 3× L-streak | 9.11% | 1 in 11 |
| 5× L-streak | 1.85% | 1 in 54 |
| 7× L-streak | 0.374% | 1 in 268 |
| 10× L-streak | 0.034% | 1 in 2937 |
e.g., 5% ≈ 1 in 20 · 1% ≈ 1 in 100. Short streaks are common — gather enough samples before concluding your edge is broken.
