Mark,
I've messed with it some. However, don't expect it to fit a nice
typical distributions used in statistics such as Normal, Poisson or
Student's etc.
Instead, expect it to fit something you might model with an N degree
polynomial (3 or 4 degrees if I remember right).
Remember, a trade distribution is simply a distribution of price,
altered by the rules of the system....rules like cutting losses short
and letting profits ride. So I suggest the place to start with this is
by looking at the trade distribution.
Sometimes this is looked upon as a Peretian Distribution, which is
just a 3rd or 4th degree polynomial. That would be the place I would
recommend to start studying this......by the way, I think it is the
foundation for studying ANYTHING interms of trading systems,
strategies or money management. Good Luck, Ralph Vince
