What defines an "Edge".

One edge is knowing your method very very well, like breaking down how many trades you normally have in a block of time, when this is off or if you use trend price patterns and use whatever for confirmation isn't, you walk away, in my case, tomorrow.
 
What defines an "Edge".

...your Bottom Line performance returns. o_O:wtf: -- if you have a fairly consistent healthy return...it's pretty safe to say you have a beautiful edge.

Everything else here in this thread topic is just noise and chatter.

Since you don't seem to know the definition of edge I would be curious what your definition of fairly consistent healthy return would be.
 
yeah not sure whats going on here. isn't an edge, anything, however small that gives you an advantage? thats always been my understanding of the definition from where I live.

That.

An advantage - a probability that more times than not something you believe will happen.

How you then trade that advantage determines whether or not you will profit from it.
 
One has an "edge" when one's methodology yields some combination of more wins than losses and/or larger wins than losses which yields net profit over time. Such edge is only viable given strict adherence to the rules of the methodology. There is no limit to the ways to do this...none that I know of that will come easy.
