"How can every call be over 100% correct?" The statistics speak for themselves, Jack of All Trades. You have to consider the correlation coefficient r between two sets of data (the winning trades and the losing trades). Also, you might have forgotten to consider statistical topology in the variational analysis of probability functions. I made that mistake at first, too, and the percentage of profitable trades was erroneously reduced to 0 percent. In one case, I even obtained a negative percentage, but I'd neglected to use generally accepted variational methods. So the calculations were useless for practical solutions.
