I have a strategy that is openning 2 contracts at same time, and later, is closing it one if target achieved and the other one with a trailing stop.
Some times, both contracts are closed togheter and some tines no.
But,.... how are calculated the # of winning or losing trades, averages etc.?
One trade with 2 contracts open and close at same time is considered 1 trade,
but if contracts are closed at different moments, are considered 2 trades, so,
Supose this cases:
2C open long - closed both with the stop loss without profits and
2C open long - closed one with 10 ticks profits and the other one with 20 ticks profit,...
The numbers are
3 trades Winning trades 2 - Losing trades 1 percent profitable 66%
2C open long - closed both with the stop loss without profits and
2C open long - closed both with 15 ticks profit,...
The numbers are
2 trades Winning trades 1 - Losing trades 1 percent profitable 50%
I think that is necessary to apply same criteria, (1 Contract = 1 Trade, or 1 Open trade= 1 trade) but now there are mixed ways to calculate number of trades in function of the operation and the statistics are not ok.
Could you explain how understand that?
