    Murray,

    I found the following:

    "Optimal f with volatility. Murray Ruggiero proposed to adapt the position size calculated using the optimal f to the current market volatility.. This is founded on the hypothesis that when the market volatility is low, the chance of having a large loss is larger than when the volatility is high. We normalize the volatility from 1 to 0, where 0 is maximal volatility, and 1 – minimal:

    Volatilitynorm = (Max_Volatility – Current_Volatility / (Max_Volatility – Min_Volatility)

    Then

    Num_Lots = fopt * Volatilitynorm * Capital /

    ( -Max_Loss_Estimate)

    Here the, fopt is calculated also using the maximal loss evaluation."

    On this site: http://www.tsresearch.com/public/money_management/money_management3/

    Was wondering if you still believed in this methodology.  I'm also curious, naturally, how you'd set this up and calculate it in TS.  Any thoughts appreciated.

    I actually found this article a few weeks ago and have not had a chance to code it up in TradersStudio yet. When I do , I will post the results.
