ChartsPod Journal Expectancy Review: Settings to Check Before Your First Analysis

An expectancy review turns journal entries into an average result per trade. ChartsPod lists a journal; check how it computes or exports expectancy.

Short answer

Expectancy = win rate × average net win − loss rate × average net loss. ChartsPod's journal is designed for reviewable process; its public pages don't detail expectancy reports, so check whether it computes them or whether you export. Settings that matter: net vs gross, inclusion of open trades, filters by tag or period, and minimum sample size. A review on 15 trades says little.
