New Statistics

3 new statistics are added today (find it in the ‘advanced statistics’ window):

Expectancy – Expectancy tells you what you can expect to make (win or lose) on every trade.

Standard Deviation – Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of volatility. It shows how much variation or dispersion there is from the mean (Expectancy).

Z-Score – Z-Score is used for calculating the ability of a trading system to generate wins and losses in streaks. It enables us to see if the streaks generated are of a random pattern or not.

The above statistics can be analyzed in real time, if choosing to analyze a custom period.

* The new statistics will become available as soon as you update your account.

More statistics are on their way 🙂

Have a great trading week!

Contest Update

Well, it’s already 1 week in, and as you’ve probably noticed, a lot of traders are over leveraging themselves to be ahead while ending up margin called. The key to winning the contest is consistency – don’t try to make the highest return, but try to be consistent with profits.  So how many are profitable by now?

As you can see, only 20% are profitable, while 80% are not. Out of the 80% non profitable traders, 40% were already margin called.

The leaders are currently Pawel with 541.50%, SpyfratFXOpen with 384.99% and imam with 327.69%

There are 3 more weeks to go, so trade carefully and successfully!

Happy trading,

The Myfxbook team.
