How good is your maths? Loser?

Apologies, my maths question is assigned to the trash can.

So you meant, 98% accuracy? I think it’s not realistic according to my experience!

Yes, I’m afraid I can’t get my head round the question.

Yeah, I got it wrong, sorry.

Yeah, same here. Apologies. It was related to an app called forextester.com
which is used for an expectancy rate. Sorry about the confusion with S/L.

Example: 100 trades, 60 wins and 40 losses win ratio =60%

Winner average $30x60=1800, loser average $25x40 =1000
Expectancy = [1+(1800/1000)] x 0.6 -1 = 68% (a positive expectancy).

That means your strategy will return 68 cents for every dollar traded over the long term.

Whew…
