Expectancy

Risk Management

Ce que ça veut dire

The average amount you expect to make per trade, accounting for both wins and losses. A positive expectancy means your strategy should make money over many trades.

Exemple

A strategy wins 40% of the time with an average win of $300 and an average loss of $100. Expectancy = (0.40 x $300) - (0.60 x $100) = $120 - $60 = $60 per trade.

L'erreur des débutants

Beginners obsess over win rate and ignore expectancy. A 30% win rate with $1,000 wins and $100 losses is far more profitable than a 90% win rate with $10 wins and $100 losses.
