Mr. Lynch:

Fixed fractional has a negative expectancy?  What do you mean?  Do you have
any references?  I don't believe this is true, but I've got an open mind.

At Schindler Trading we use fixed fractional position sizing and believe it
is the wisest choice -- as I believe you also concluded after your Monte
Carlo testing.
