Why money management is important?

Losses is a part and parcel of trading. The trick here is to be able to limit your losses and find the appropriate money managing strategies to suit a situation.

2/10
Money management not a guarantee of sure fire success and high profits but is an assurance against mounting losses in a difficult market. At the same time you need to keep an eye on the volatility of the stock and how much money needs to be put at risk on any one position

What Is the Fixed Fractional Model?

Fixed fractional or fixed risk is a money management strategy where the risk is restricted to a fixed percentage of the account. Only a fixed part or percentage of the account capital gets exposed to risk.

Pros Of the Fixed Fractional Model

The ability of this model to capitalize earnings is borne by the compounding effect. In winning streaks the position size begins to increase. But in losing streaks the size of the trades reduces.

5/10
Cons Of the Fixed Fractional Model

This model is mostly suitable for larger accounts.

With the low risk percentage it does not leave much room for making a bigger move with smaller lot sizes. With small capital it will take much longer time to grow account.

What Is Fixed Lot or Fixed Ratio Money Management?

This is a money management technique that helps compound returns with an increase in the lot size when the account sees growth. This is widely practiced models where a trader sets the lot numbers to trade per position.

7/10
Pros Of the Fixed Lot Model

This is best suitable for smaller accounts to grow account faster.

The fixed lot model is fairly straightforward and even novice traders can grasp it easily. It is also relatively easy to manage unlike some of the more complex alternatives.

8/10
Cons Of the Fixed Lot Model

The periodic withdrawals from the account reduce the potential to use the additional capital to have a healthy capital and build on incremental profits. With larger accounts the position size can become unwieldy and open to higher risks.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
How can we use language supervision to learn better visual representations for robotics?

Videos of humans performing everyday tasks (Something-Something-v2, Ego4D) offer a rich and diverse resource for learning representations for robotic manipulation.

Yet, an underused part of these datasets are the rich, natural language annotations accompanying each video. (2/12)

The Voltron framework offers a simple way to use language supervision to shape representation learning, building off of prior work in representations for robotics like MVP (

The secret is *balance* (3/12)

Starting with a masked autoencoder over frames from these video clips, make a choice:

1) Condition on language and improve our ability to reconstruct the scene.

2) Generate language given the visual representation and improve our ability to describe what's happening. (4/12)

By trading off *conditioning* and *generation* we show that we can learn 1) better representations than prior methods, and 2) explicitly shape the balance of low and high-level features captured.

Why is the ability to shape this balance important? (5/12)
