In the case of a 0.4% per pip trade,  of aproximately 185 pips (assuming margin call at 25% equity). Is that right? For example if we had a 100 dollars balance, 0.4 USD * 187 = 75 dollars loss, the ammount necessary to get MC.

I would like to have an…[Read more]

So the story is this: for any forex currency cross (say, EURJPY) there are combinations of two other currencies (for example, USDJPY and EURUSD or EURGBP and GBPJPY) from which you can create a “synthetic” EURJPY. So if…[Read more]

So now i understand what I didn’t at the time: to calculate how profitable a system is you have to include the spread before calculating the risk/reward, not after.

I also always wondered what the “profit factor” was and now I…[Read more]

I intuitively know that with a 3 pips spread, this system is probably going to be profitable. But is it? And what if for example I had a win ratio of 55%? Would it be profitable? And how much?
I suppose there is some mathematical formula to calculate…[Read more]
