WALL STREET GATEKEPT THIS ONE LINE FOR YEARS AND A PHD, AND IT PREDICTS THE EXACT LOSING STREAK YOU BLAMED ON MANIPULATION
One line, whole story.
L = ln(n) / ln(1/q)
n is your trade count. q is your loss rate. L is the longest run of red the math has already booked for you.
Strip the math away. Win 58% for a thousand trades and somewhere in there sit eight straight losses. The system is fine and the streak was scheduled.
So most traders do not lose the edge. They lose the nerve, on the exact day the formula said they would.
Quant desks size for L before entry. Minara runs that check from one sentence: describe the idea in plain English and it builds the strategy, backtests it and shows the drawdowns openly.
