Espérance de gain
Also called: expectancy, edge, avantage
Expectancy is the average result you can expect per trade: (win rate × average gain) − (loss rate × average loss). Positive expectancy means a strategy that’s profitable over time, even through losing streaks. It’s expectancy — not the result of any single trade — that determines whether you have a real “edge”.
