Dislikedavg win versus avg loss is only one side of the story. What's the win rate? Once you have that you can calculate expectancy:
(win rate * avg win) - (loss rate * avg loss)
So if the win rate is 70% (and the loss rate is 30%) and the avg win < avg loss you can have a profitable system:
(0.70 * 0.50) - (0.30* 1.00) = 0.35 - 0.30 = 0.05
As long as expectancy > 0 you're profitable.Ignored
DislikedWhy would you make that assumption? Take a good trader, halve his (or her) stop, and he'll probably be <50% but still profitable.Ignored
