Trading System with a Positive Expectancy
• 1R = Percentage % Risk per trade
• Where 1R = 1%-3%

Expected Profit Per Trade (Expectancy)


= (% Win x Average Win) - (% Loss x Average Loss)

Example:
Starting Capital $10,000
Average loss = -1R
Average Win = +2R

Expected Profit = (% Win x Average Win) - (% Loss x Average Loss)


= (50% x 2R) - (50% x 1R)
= 1R -0.5R = 0.50R per trade

120 trades in a year


= 120 x 0.5R = 60R per Year
= 60% a Year

The Professional Traders Mindset
The most profitable realisation to a trader is when they can begin to
view each occurrence in their trading (and their life for that matter) as a
random series of events.

It’s only the outcome over a larger statistical set that result in consistent
and predictable profits.

At the micro level, the outcome of trading is random and unpredictable.


At the macro level, the outcome is predictable when you have a
statistical edge
