Bankroll and Variance
Bottom line
Survive long enough for edge to show. Sizing and drawdown tolerance are part of the model — not an afterthought.
Key points
- Real edge still loses in clusters.
- Flat or capped sizing beats ego ramps.
- If your bankroll can't survive a normal drawdown, you don't have a strategy.
Variance is not a verdict
A 55% process can go cold for weeks. That is math, not betrayal. People who size like every week must "win" turn variance into ruin.
KosEdge teaches long-game bankroll thinking so subscribers stay solvent — and subscribed — through normal noise.
Sizing rules of thumb
- Default flat or unit-capped until calibration is proven
- Never size up to "get even"
- Cap exposure per slate and per correlated cluster
