  3. I actually just posted the numbers of a stopped trade, but then I realize my trade missed firing by about 15 pips: more lucky than wise.

    So last stats stand

    1 Wins, 1 Losses.

    Win Percentage: 50%

    Cumulative Risk Premia: +1.11

    Average Risk Premia: +0.56 (last trades, recent first: -0.03, +1.12)

    Nevertheless, I will treat the trade as a loss and will not be back until Feb 14th at the earliest.

  9. No trade currently, I would just like to set a stronger trade standard as my natural tendency is to take anything I see with an expected profit, which of course is influenced by heuristics and personal error into likely expected loss.

    The goal of the standard is not to meet it, but as a psychological reference to curb my thoughts. The expected return on the below is +1, although anything above 0.50 in reality is great.


    Trade standard: 67% win percentage, 2:1 estimated R:R

    1 Wins, 2 Losses.

    Win Percentage: 33%

    Cumulative Risk Premia: +0.48

    Average Risk Premia: +0.16 (last trades, recent first: -0.63, -0.03, +1.12)
