The Art of Trading
07/01/22 • 25 min
This episode explores my theory and ideas around the high failure rate in trading. I don't believe traders fail just because of the technical reasons.

The Math of Winning
The Art of Trading
11/01/21 • 24 min
Most traders think that their win percentage is the most important performance statistic of their trading. The relieving truth is this is not the case. In this episode we explore the subject of winning percentage in great detail and dispel all of the myths you might have been led to believe.
Mathematical Formulas:
- WinRate = (WinningTrades ÷ TotalTrades) x 100
- MinimumWin% = Risk ÷ (Risk + Reward) x 100
- AverageGain = WinningTotal ÷ TotalWinningTrades
- AverageLoss = LosingTotal ÷ TotalLosingTrades
- Expectancy = ((1 + (AverageGain ÷ AverageLoss)) x WinRate) - 1

Many people find it to be boring, monotonous, difficult, and worst of all, pointless. They’ve been led to believe that backtesting doesn’t work or isn’t worthwhile, so they don’t bother with it, or they do a poor job of it.
But I disagree with that attitude completely. In today's episode I explain why.
