Do not forget a VERY important variable and that is when trades are closed, then have the average winner be bigger than the average loser.

They told me in the SP500 pit in Chicago to not eat like a bird and poop like an elephant.

Absolutely! The average winner versus average loser is vitally important and is a component of the expectancy calculation.

Persistence! Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not ... nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not ... Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not ... The world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent! Calvin Coolidge

Again this is a meaningless statistic without win/loss ratio. @kevinkdog did a great video on trading stats a couple of weeks ago which included this great chart, which illustrates nicely the relationship between Risk Reward (which is also average win/average loss) and Win%. You can't talk about one of those without the other!.



Full link to the video. (Its the website not me making it so large!) Kevin does a great job talking about trade statistics using the 30 odd systems he trades as an example.
