How it's calculated

Expectancy per trade is win rate × average win minus loss rate × average loss. Expressed in R it's expectancy divided by the average loss. Profit factor is total expected wins divided by total expected losses. Monthly expectancy is per-trade expectancy times trades per month. A positive expectancy over a large sample is the only thing that makes a strategy worth running.
