Yes, you pretty much have it covered.
My two main concerns are
1. Have a final average price of $x
2. Distribute the selling as evenly as possible between the starting and ending values.
So that say at $43 I know to sell x number of units and so on until the average is met and the...
I am trying to calculate the distribution of a number of units between two points with a desired average not necessarily in the middle. In an even distribution I would normally find the difference between the two points and use the result to divide the number of units for distribution.

In doing some calculations the other day I came across the concept of "Loss/Gain Asymmetry". After spending sometime searching I was only able to find cursory information on the subject was hopeing someone mind be able to answer a question I had on the subject.
In a scenerio where a 100 units...
How would I calculate which of the 2 options is the most efficient use of the capital?
With $5,000 of capital ...
1.) I can purchase and resell 20 units for a $1000 profit
2.) I can purchase and resell 200 units for a $1500 profit
Obviously option #2 is the most profitable but...
Your right this is for an investment and is related to a delta neutral hedged position that basically is put into place to mitigate small variations in value change with the assumption that a large movement is coming, and you want to be in position to capitalize on it ...you just don't know...
..Ah the perils of my ignorance. :wink:
I do appreciate you making the effort to help me sort this out.
I figured at some point from an efficiency perspective the amount lost reached a point where the percent gained required recover became unrealistic. That is what I was trying to...
At some point though wouldn't the losing side be losing 1¢ or less for every 1% change while the other side was gaining 2¢ or more?
I guess where I am going with this I understand that a 50% loss requires a 100% gain to recover the loss. I just wasn't sure if that was the point of no return...
This is one of those is one of those areas of understanding where I am almost out of my depth so I will try to better explain what I am after ...but still keep it simple.
Assume we are working with 2x - $1 bills. One is increasing in value inversly to the other side that is decreasing in...
Let me start by saying my understanding of logarithms is relatively limited, with that out of the way on to my question.
The question I have is in a situation where you have 2 items that are inversely related and both have a starting point of 100%. How would you calculate the point where...
Haha yea I have something wrong... I just am not quite sure where.
I am trying to calculate a delta neutral position. Most of the time the size of these positions are based on a number of shares someone is trying to hedge and the cost is whatever it ends up being to create the hedge. I am...
I was hoping someone might be able to help sort out where I am going wrong in my calculation of the ratio of relative difference.
Value1= .0759
Value2= .0544
SqRt(.0759 / .0544) = 1.181195
The above calculation seems to work, but in a situation like below where the values are...
Determining Skew of a Data Set of Standard Deviations
I currently have a formula to calculate the standard deviation of data using a sliding 20 period window which has allowed me to generate the histogram image seen below.
My question is what calculations or formulas would I need to...
I am trying to calculate the standard deviation of a group of data based on a 20 period sliding window. I have run into a bit of a problem in knowing how to deal with gaps up or down in the readings and was wondering what the correct method for compensating for this was.Below is an example of...
Ynaught -
It is pretty much the same concept as here. I just don't know how to do the calculations.

The balance comes into play because the final price can never be determined up front and therefore creates 2...
If I was interested in determining how to balance the rate of reinvestment of profits back into the original investment (to add to its compounding potential) while still growing the profit return on the investment.
How would I go about calculating something like that ?
