Actually, a wealth maximizer wants a system with the highest TWR, not f. Not the same thing. Higher f does not necessarily mean highest TWR. Depends on win /loss ratio, payoff, etc.

highest f.  Consider if you had the perfect system, it would have an f
of 1.0 - ie you would bet all your wealth on each trade as it would be
