Modify the swing system of 3.1 so that 3% of trades gap through the stop and lose : R-multiples w.p. 0.40, w.p. 0.57, w.p. 0.03. (a) Compute the expectancy and the Kelly fraction (numerically). Compare with the no-gap system (). (b) For risk fractions 1%, 2% and 5%, compute the Lundberg exponent and the bounds on (ever lose 20%) and (ever halve). Compare with the no-gap table in 3.7. (c) Verify that at the new Kelly fraction (Proposition 3.14). (d) What does this imply for a trader who estimates the R distribution from a few dozen trades, none of which gapped?
