I try to balance the elements of this formula in my trading. Also I started to use it to assess my trading rather than on $$ that gives me issues.
Expectancy = (Probability of Win * Average Win) - (Probability of Loss * Average Loss)
Also an interesting way to assess trades.

And use this style of MM to protect MY money and give the positive benefit of exponential maths.

Be aware of this :-

Probability of Win -- Small level inside a HTF level, time of day etc.
Average Win -- 3:1 as usual min and 2 trade opened to try to maximise R:R as short of the weekly high.
Probability of Loss -- Now 0 as trade was managed to win:win situation.
Average Loss -- Tight Stop use small level to get in on htf level

Example -- Increase average win

I got stopped out of the short on Tue before my target (CZ1). Flipped long yesterday.

I think it's time to call it a day posting trades it is probably getting boring for everyone. This log has certainly helped get to where I wanted and I really enjoyed posting it. I hope it has been some use to others too. I wish everyone good luck with their trading.
Some things that have helped me:-
Finally realising there are more things to being a good trader other than entries - I took some convincing :-)
Reading trading in the zone and working on my brain (thanks PGW & G).
Understanding the 2 functions of money management and applying it consistently.
Apart from all the great info and threads here I also recommend.
