What This Estimate Assumes

Simple maths on the averages you enter. Costs per trade come off every win and add to every loss. Break-even win rate = net loss ÷ (net win + net loss). Expectancy per trade = win rate × net win − loss rate × net loss. Past averages do not predict future trades, and results can vary widely around the average. Ignores tax, slippage, position sizes and losing streaks. Not a trading strategy. Checked 4 October 2026. General information and estimates only, not financial, tax or legal advice.

Before You Use This Number

What Is Expectancy?

It is the average amount a trade makes or loses over many trades, from your win rate, average win and average loss. A negative number means the averages lose money over time.

Does A Positive Result Mean I Should Trade More?

No. Averages from past trades may not hold, and losing streaks happen even with a positive expectancy. This is arithmetic, not a strategy.
