Thanks for the numbers. I will compare them to my own. I have the 60% down....think I am closer to 70% (actually, 65% / 35% and I am not happy with that!), but I think my winning points to losing points is closer to 1.0 (Nope that was just this week), which sucks! My overall average since I started doing this seriously is 1.31. Still needs work. I appreciate the input.

RE-EDIT...the above doesn't read too smoothly as I edited the numbers in once I had a chance to check them. I just re-read and figured I'd mention that.

Clay,

Actually I am now confused. Using the following numbers.

Winning and Flat Trades - .6552
Losing Trades - .3448

Average Point Win 2.52
Average Point Loss 1.92

How do you calculation the 1.6 number?

If it is straight away it is (2.52/1.92) or 1.3125

If it is weighted then it is (2.52*.6552/1.92*.3448) or 2.4941

Obviously a big difference. Weighted appears to make more sense to me.
