About this Chart's Calculations for Oil

Expectancy calculation (win % x average win) - (loss % x average loss): (100% * 5.45%) - (0% * 0%) = 5.45%. 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.
