とは the Kelly Criterion?
The Kelly Criterion is a mathematical formula that determines the optimal size of a series of bets to maximize long-term capital growth. Developed by John Kelly at Bell Labs in 1956.
Formula: Kelly % = (bp - q) / b
- b = win/loss ratio
- p = probability of winning
- q = probability of losing (1 - p)
なぜ Use Half Kelly?
Most professional traders use Half Kelly or even Quarter Kelly because:
- Full Kelly is mathematically optimal but extremely volatile
- Half Kelly gives ~75% of the growth with ~50% of the drawdown
- It provides a psychological buffer for estimation errors
Key Warning
The Kelly Criterion assumes your win rate and win/loss ratio are accurate and stable. Overestimating either leads to dangerous over-sizing.
