Trading Math - Part I

Quote from DontMissTheBus:

sheesh, and my reply was that with different assumptions on gain and loss when win/lose, the answers all come out different.
Further, you are telling me in real life, you know the p_win and p_loss of your trading system??

No, thats why probability is a real assumption, I am pretty sure you said "amount" of gain/loss, not "with different assumptions".

I gave an example when you asked for the math. The example had stated assumptions (different gains and loss levels for wins and losses). Then you started about expectations being crap (who's doing any estimation? we are just using an illustrative example).

I gave assumptions for every value there (including gain loss levels).

It's a freaking example.

Quote from intradaybill:

He said amount of win vs. loss. Maybe it is your English.

I would think that' target,stop' is clearer English rather than 'amount' which is like no. of win, losses.

he had to be marched to the cloak room by the hostess and given a decent pair of shoes to the horrified embarrassment of all the other traders there..

nothing more horrifying than a trader with bad shoes

I think I made the mistake of thinking that guy is a rational guy that one can have a discussion with about technical topics.
I was wrong. I think he's a standard et loon.

Now we really attracted a looney toon.

Maybe not the whole forum, but this thread is precisely the train wreck I predicted it would be.

Sure...with idiots like you who got nothing to contribute except evidence of their psychosis.

Actually, if you could pay attention to what DontMissTheBus wrote and had the capacity to understand it you could benefit. But psychosis plus lack of understanding does not let you.
