Some interesting values to put in are
win/loss :3
win prob: .55
The optimal bet size for what people typically say as their edge is 40% of the account per bet. Obviously, most people are probably far over estimating their true edge.
Probably more interesting to play around with than the equity curve itself is a positive kelly value is a system with positive expectancy and a negative value is one with negative expectancy.
With the winning 3 times what you risk idea, a win rate of 25% is the threshold between positive and negative expectancy per bet.
The "common trading wisdom" double whammy of searching for a completely over stated edge, then even if finding one completely under betting it.
