I created this little calculator over the weekend to help me size my trades and set my stops/tgts correctly. I was originally going to write this as a windows forms app but decided to make it a web app so others could easily use it. I'm not sure if anyone is going to use it but I found it...

I'm glad you enjoy the thread Coudy.. I also use a similar model of my performance and just refer to wins as 2 units and losses as 1 unit. As I progress further along I'm moving the dollar amount represented by each unit up slowly. This is my first year trading and I'm concentrating on...

No, this is not an RTM strategy.. He was referring to the mean which I believe my win rate should be. This is approx 50% based on my own statistics as well as geez's (8 years of stats).
