Re: Aberration & Bet Size

If I understand correctly, in Mark Johnson's trading scheme with Aberration,
"betsize" is a function of equity level in the account, and a factor "A" which
varies according to the "aggressiveness" of the account holder at different
levels of equity, say, for example, more cautious at first when account equity
is very small (<$30,000), more agressive as the account grows, then more
cautious as the account becomes really large (>$1,000,000).

"Betsize" has nothing directly to do with results of trades in the immediate
past, other than of course to lower the betsize if the equity has been
diminished.

Am I getting this, Mark?
