Yes, that was what I was trying to say, sorry if I was misunderstood. Also, the 125$ risk is an average, sometimes I risk more or less, and the 10% expectancy that I'm getting is AFTER I account for slippage and commissions. Before slippage and commissions I have an expectancy of ~18% (22,5$ profit per trade).
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
No worries, you already did the math and had the end results fresh in mind which isnt always obvious to follow for folks who've just tuned in.
Dont get me wrong, a positive win rate is great but the R:R is very closely tied together and a healthy balance between the two i find is important for recovering losses and reducing huge drawdowns. Needing 1 win to recoup 1 loss i think would be too much of a struggle for a relatively low win rate. I would do some more digging to see if you can either improve the R:R or winrate.
"Hey! I've got 10 fresh apples to sell, any hungry buyers out here today?!" "Maybe! Just let me check my moving average and RSI!"
