What is the trade expectancy of your Live system (times the risk in avg)?

    Just starting a thread to see what people (real traders please) rely on for their LIVE systems. Please reply only when the system did above 100 trades.

    If you can add any thoughts just comment - I mainly want to know if I could trust my results or if I am purely relying on chance so far (110 trades and on AVERAGE 0.1*Risk profit). My current conclusion is chance (+ that it's a bad system).
     
  2. You're thinking about this in a screwy way - profit vs. drawdown or profit factor or Sharpe ratio or something would be more informative.
