Default Re: Kurtosis risk

The kurtosis value is off the charts compared to a normal distribution. To what degree would this impact bankroll requirement calculations and is there any RoR forumlas that take kurtosis into account?

No there aren't any RoR formulas that take kurtosis into account.

Current RoR formulas are a joke.

This section of MoP is a joke.

I think it's pretty clear that the "experts" that post on this Probability Forum and Chen/Ankenman (whoever wrote that section) do not really have a clue about Probability Theory.
