Thanks!

What is your 'win' rate? (Percentage of trades that make money as a fraction of overall trades)?

How many trades does your system make on average in a given day?

Do you hold positions overnight?




Around 45-50% win rate but I try and keep the runners going for as long as possible and exit out of the loser trades quickly (this basically just costs you the commission on losers but sometimes more). You can tell within a minute or two if what you expect to happen is going to happen. So, even with a 50/50 win/loss rate you can still make money. I make around 100-200 trades per day. Sell everything before market close.
