maxProbProfit: Maximize the Probability of Profit

In LSPM: The Leverage Space Portfolio Modeler

Description

Maximize the Probability of Profit

Usage

  maxProbProfit(lsp, target, horizon, constrFun=NULL, constrVal=NULL,
    zmin=-1, margin=NULL, equity=NULL, upper, lower, ...)

Arguments

lsp	A lsp object.
target	The profit target.
horizon	The number of holding periods.
constrFun	A string naming the constraint function.
constrVal	The value of the constraint function that should not be exceeded.
zmin	A value or vector of minimum values for the two martingale exponents. If zmin is a vector, the first (second) element is used when portfolio equity is below (above) target. zmin must be <= -1 and >= 0.
margin	A vector of inital margin values for each event series.
equity	Current account equity.
upper	Upper f-value bounds (recycled, if necessary).
lower	Lower f-value bounds (recycled, if necessary).
...	Parameters to be passed to constrFun.

Value

f	Initial f values.
z	Martingale z values. The first (second) exponent is used when portfolio equity is below (above) the target value.
profitProb	Maximum probability of profit.
