Risk of ruin is the probability that a fixed-fractional strategy — one that risks a set percent of current equity on each trade — drops past a drawdown you define as ruin before its edge can compound. It depends on three things: how often you win, how much a win pays relative to a loss, and how much you stake each time. The first two set your edge; the third decides whether that edge survives its own volatility.爆仓概率是指一个固定比例策略(即每笔交易都按当前资金的固定百分比下注)在其优势还来不及复利之前,就跌破你所定义的爆仓回撤的概率。它取决于三点:赢的频率、一次盈利相对一次亏损的倍数,以及每次下注的大小。前两者决定你的优势,第三者则决定这份优势能否熬过它自身的波动。

01How it is estimated如何估算

Each trade: win (prob W) → equity × (1 + r·b); loss → equity × (1 − r)每笔交易:(概率 W)→ 资金 × (1 + r·b); → 资金 × (1 − r)
Ruined if equity ever ≤ 1 − dd (starting equity = 1)若资金曾 ≤ 1 − dd 则爆仓(起始资金 = 1)
Risk of ruin = ruined accounts ÷ 10,000 × 100%爆仓概率 = 爆仓账户数 ÷ 10,000 × 100%
Expectancy (R) = W·b − (1 − W)每笔期望(R) = W·b − (1 − W)

There is no tidy closed form for a compounding, fixed-fractional account, so this runs a Monte-Carlo: 10,000 simulated accounts, each trading the plan for the number of trades you set, counting how many ever cross the ruin line. A fixed random seed makes the answer reproducible — the same inputs always return the same number, so you can compare plans honestly rather than chase a shifting figure.对于一个复利的固定比例账户,并没有简洁的闭式解,因此这里采用蒙特卡洛模拟:10,000 个模拟账户,每个都按你设定的笔数交易该策略,统计有多少个曾越过爆仓线。固定的随机种子让结果可复现——相同输入始终返回相同数字,你可以据此诚实地比较不同方案,而非追逐一个飘忽的数值。

02A worked example一个算例

Worked example算例

Suppose a trader wins 50% of the time at a 1 : 1 payoff and risks 2% of equity per trade, calling a 50% drawdown ruin, over 500 trades.假设一位交易者胜率为 50%、盈亏比为 1 : 1,每笔风险为资金的 2%,将 50% 回撤视为爆仓,共交易 500 笔。

  • Expectancy = 0.5 × 1 − 0.5 = 0.00 R — a coin flip, no edge.期望 = 0.5 × 1 − 0.5 = 0.00 R——一枚硬币,毫无优势。
  • With no edge, ruin is driven purely by the size of the swings. The simulation returns roughly 16% risk of ruin at this stake.在没有优势时,爆仓完全由波动幅度决定。在此下注比例下,模拟返回约 16% 的爆仓概率。
  • Cut the stake to 1% and the same edgeless plan falls to a low single-digit chance of ruin — the payoff never changed, only the bet size.将下注比例降到 1%,同样毫无优势的策略,其爆仓概率便降至低个位数——盈亏比从未改变,改变的只是下注大小。

That is the whole lesson in one line: a break-even strategy can still ruin you if you bet too much, and it can survive almost indefinitely if you bet a little. Position size, not the payoff, is doing the heavy lifting.这就是全部道理,浓缩成一句:一个不赚不赔的策略,若下注过重,仍可能让你爆仓;若下注轻微,则几乎能无限期存活。真正起决定作用的是仓位大小,而非盈亏比。

03The common trap常见陷阱

A positive edge feels like a safety net正期望让人误以为有安全网

It is tempting to think a positive expectancy makes ruin impossible. It does not. An edge that pays off on average still arrives as a jagged string of wins and losses, and a long-enough cold streak at a large stake can carry equity below the ruin line before the average ever asserts itself. Doubling your risk per trade does not double your return — it multiplies the depth of your drawdowns and can push a perfectly profitable plan into the ruin zone.人们很容易以为正期望就能杜绝爆仓。并非如此。一份平均盈利的优势,实际是以盈亏交错的锯齿状序列到来的;足够长的连亏叠加较大的下注,可能在平均值显现之前就把资金拖到爆仓线以下。把每笔风险翻倍并不会让收益翻倍——它会成倍加深你的回撤,足以把一个本该盈利的策略推入爆仓区间。

04Where this breaks它的局限

This is a clean model of one idealized plan. Real trading is messier, and the estimate should be read with a few honest limits in mind:这是对一个理想化策略的简洁建模。真实交易要复杂得多,读取这个估算时应记住几点诚实的局限:

  • Every trade is treated as independent and identical. Real win rates and payoffs drift with the regime; a plan that worked in a trend can bleed in a chop. The model assumes the odds you type stay fixed forever.每笔交易都被视为独立且相同。真实的胜率与盈亏比会随市场环境漂移;在趋势中奏效的策略,在震荡里可能持续失血。模型假设你输入的赔率永远固定不变。
  • Wins and losses are fixed at exactly b and 1. Actual outcomes scatter — a rare outsized loss (a gap through your stop) is not captured, so true ruin risk can be higher than the clean figure.盈亏被固定为恰好 b 和 1。真实结果是分散的——一次罕见的巨亏(跳空穿过止损)并未被纳入,因此真实的爆仓风险可能高于这个干净的数字。
  • Ruin is a threshold you chose. Crossing a 50% drawdown on paper is not a margin call, and stopping short of it is not safety. Treat the percent as a planning line, not a verdict.爆仓线是你自己选定的。纸面上跌破 50% 回撤并不等于被强平,而没跌到它也不等于安全。请把这个百分比当作一条规划线,而非最终裁决。
The one line to remember记住这一句

Your edge decides whether you win in the long run; your bet size decides whether you are still around to see it. Smaller risk per trade slashes the odds of ruin far faster than it dents your returns.你的优势决定长期能否盈利;你的下注大小决定你是否还活着看到那一天。降低每笔风险,削减爆仓概率的速度,远快于它对收益的损耗。
