If you had $100k to split across 3 traders, who gets what?
Bob: 3 years in, slightly profitable last 6 months
Stanley: 5 years deep, but only 2 months of journaling
Holly: 4 years in, 18 months locked into ONE strategy
Here's the play:
Holly gets the lion's share. 18 months on a single strategy = edge validation. Consistency > experience. She's not chasing shiny objects, she's grinding one playbook until it prints. That's how you compound.
Bob gets a smaller cut. Slightly profitable is better than bleeding, but 6 months isn't enough data. He's still figuring it out. Small allocation, tight leash.
Stanley gets the least. 5 years of experience means nothing if he just started journaling 2 months ago. No data = no edge = no conviction. He might be good, but you can't allocate capital on vibes.
The real alpha: Track record + discipline + edge clarity. Everything else is noise.
Who would you back?
