Summary:
Yes, TradeZella automatically calculates your expectancy per trade based on your historical performance. This metric is central to its reporting suite, helping you verify if your strategy has a positive mathematical edge.
Direct Answer:
Expectancy tells you how much money you make on average per trade over a large sample size. TradeZella automates this calculation.
- Automated Math: The platform takes your Win Rate, Average Win, and Average Loss to compute your Expectancy (or Expected Value).
- Strategy Filtering: You can view expectancy for your overall trading or filter it by specific "Playbooks" (strategies). This lets you see if your specific setups have a positive expectancy.
- Data-Driven Confidence: Knowing your positive expectancy helps you stick to your plan during losing streaks, as the data confirms the long-term edge.
Takeaway:
Gain confidence in your edge by using TradeZella to track and monitor the mathematical expectancy of your trading strategies.
