Means over X trades what is the percentage of winning trades to total number of trades (note that we don't consider how much you gained but only If you won or not).
|

|

|

W = (Number of winning trades) / (Number of losing trades)
|

`W = (Number of winning trades) / (Number of losing trades)`

### Risk Reward Ratio
|
||||
Risk Reward Ratio is a formula used to measure the expected gains of a given investment against the risk of loss. It is basically what you potentially win divided by what you potentially lose:
|
||||
|
||||
R = Profit / Loss
|
||||
`R = Profit / Loss`
|
||||
|
||||
Over time, on many trades, you can calculate your risk reward by dividing your average profit on winning trades by your average loss on losing trades:
|
||||
|
||||
average profit = (Sum of profits) / (Number of winning trades)
|
||||
`Average profit = (Sum of profits) / (Number of winning trades)`
|
||||
|
||||
average loss = (Sum of losses) / (Number of losing trades)
|
||||
`Average loss = (Sum of losses) / (Number of losing trades)`
|
||||
|
||||
R = (average profit) / (average loss)
|
||||
`R = (Average profit) / (Average loss)`
|
||||
|
||||
### Expectancy

@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ Expectancy Ratio = (Risk Reward Ratio x Win Rate) – Loss Rate
|

|

So lets say your Win rate is 28% and your Risk Reward Ratio is 5:
|
||||
|
||||
Expectancy = (5 * 0.28) - 0.72 = 0.68
|
||||
`Expectancy = (5 * 0.28) - 0.72 = 0.68`
|
||||
|
||||
Superficially, this means that on average you expect this strategy’s trades to return .68 times the size of your losers. This is important for two reasons: First, it may seem obvious, but you know right away that you have a positive return. Second, you now have a number you can compare to other candidate systems to make decisions about which ones you employ.
