The Math of Winning
Manage episode 372700888 series 3498235
Most traders think that their win percentage is the most important performance statistic of their trading. The relieving truth is this is not the case. In this episode we explore the subject of winning percentage in great detail and dispel all of the myths you might have been led to believe.
Mathematical Formulas:
- WinRate = (WinningTrades ÷ TotalTrades) x 100
- MinimumWin% = Risk ÷ (Risk + Reward) x 100
- AverageGain = WinningTotal ÷ TotalWinningTrades
- AverageLoss = LosingTotal ÷ TotalLosingTrades
- Expectancy = ((1 + (AverageGain ÷ AverageLoss)) x WinRate) - 1
