About this Chart's Calculations for United Kingdom

Expectancy calculation (win % x average win) - (loss % x average loss): (89.74% * 5.96%) - (10.26% * 19.36%) = 3.37%. To be a profitable trader you need to trade with a positive value for expectancy.

The Sharpe Ratio calculation assumes a risk free return rate of 2% per calendar year. Ideally the ratio should be a positive number. A higher positive number indicates the strategy has a more attractive risk adjusted rate of return.
