What an Edge Actually Is
An edge is not a high win rate. It is positive net expectancy over a large sample. This lesson defines expectancy and shows why win rate alone tells you almost nothing.
Module 1
Before you trade a strategy, learn what makes one worth trading.
A free, four-lesson primer on what a trading edge actually is, the three numbers it is built from, how to tell a real edge from a lucky streak, and how to pick a style that fits the way you are wired. Built to be taken alongside the Find My Edge assessment.
An edge is not a high win rate. It is positive net expectancy over a large sample. This lesson defines expectancy and shows why win rate alone tells you almost nothing.
Every edge is built from three numbers: win rate, average win, and average loss. R-multiples turn them into one clean language you can track across every setup.
A few green weeks is not proof. This lesson covers sample size, the false edges that fool traders, and the validation ladder that separates a real edge from a lucky run.
The best edge on paper fails if it fights your temperament. This lesson maps trading styles to the trader behind them and shows why style-fit is a real edge of its own.
