Hedge Funds

Expected value judgment, bet sizing, and the trading intuition long/short and macro funds test for.

Take it, or pass?

Expected Value Challenge

You're offered a bet with a win amount, a loss amount, and a probability. Decide fast whether the expected value says take it.

How much of your bankroll?

Premier

Kelly Criterion

Given an edge and the payout odds, compute the Kelly-optimal fraction of your bankroll to bet.

Which bet actually pays more?

Premier

Optimization Challenge

Two bets, one choice. Compute the expected value of each and pick the one that actually maximizes it.

Quote a bid and ask. Wear the risk.

Premier

Market Making

Post a bid/ask spread against a hidden fair value. Counterparties trade against you — a tight, well-centered quote wins; a wide or mispriced one loses.

Buy here, sell there, mark it now.

Premier

Trading P&L Sprint

Track a rapid sequence of buys and sells at an average cost basis, then compute realized, unrealized, or total P&L before time runs out.

Fair coin, or biased?

Premier

Bayesian Updating

Start at a 50/50 prior, observe a sequence of flips, and update to the correct posterior probability.
