Thoughts on the expected value

Let's try to apply a bit of theory, taking the average results, and see what we can achieve by observing only the Expected Value in our trading system, no super deals.

Initially, we have a 10C stop in the stock, but considering the average slippage of 12C
We set the commission 0.006С
The profitable trade is 45C
The ratio is about 1 to 4 it turns out
Position in 1000 shares with us
Consider 2 Options :
BUT) First 3 сделки у нас всегда в минус 12С на 1000 shares this 120$ with commission 132$. Fourth deal plus 45C always.
B) First 2 сделки у нас всегда в минус 12С на 1000 shares this 120$ with commission 132$. Third deal plus 45C always.

Suppose that on average we do 10 deals per day.

1000 22500 2000000 10500 69810 2000000 57810

Through 1000 deals, if you do on average per day 10 deals = 100 days in the first version we will earn 10500$, but in the second we will already earn 57810$ с учетом комиссии.

Of course, this is just a theory and in reality things are different., но если соблюдать Математическое ожидание мы можем добиться хороших результатов совершая средние сделки.
