@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ We raise the following question[^1]:
a) A trade with 80% of chance of losing $100 and 20% chance of winning $200<br/>
b) A trade with 100% of chance of losing $30

The expected value of *a)* is smaller than the expected value of *b)*.<br/>
Hence, *b*) represents a smaller loss in the long run.<br/>
However, the answer is: *it depends*

The win rate $W$ is the proportion of winning trades with respect to all the trades made by a strategy. We use the following function to compute the win rate:
$$W = \frac{\sum^{o \in T_{win}} o}{N}$$
$$W = \frac{|T_{win}|}{N}$$
Where $W$ is the win rate, $N$ is the number of trades and, $T_{win}$ is the set of all trades where the strategy made money.
Similarly, we can compute the rate of losing trades:
$$
L = \frac{\sum^{o \in T_{lose}} o}{N}
L = \frac{|T_{lose}|}{N}
$$
Where $L$ is the lose rate, $N$ is the amount of trades made and, $T_{lose}$ is the set of all trades where the strategy lost money. Note that the above formula is the same as calculating $L = 1 – W$ or $W = 1 – L$

Let's say that you think that the price of *stonecoin* today is $10.0. You believe that, because they will start mining stonecoin, it will go up to $15.0 tomorrow. There is the risk that the stone is too hard, and the GPUs can't mine it, so the price might go to $0 tomorrow. You are planning to invest $100.<br>
Your potential profit is calculated as:<br>

Let's say the strategy that we are using makes an average win $\mu_{win} = 2.06$ and an average loss $\mu_{loss} = 4.11$.<br>
We calculate the risk reward ratio as follows:<br>
$R = \frac{\mu_{win}}{\mu_{loss}} = \frac{2.06}{4.11} = 0.5012...$
