Expectancy calculation for 10 signal(s) occurring before 26 May 2024 for a 7.5% profit target: (80.0% * 8.48%) + (10.0% * 1.07%) - (10.0% * 5.07%) = 6.38%.
Wins: 8 Breakevens: 1 Losses: 1

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 for this particular buy signal and stock over the chart's timeframe.
