Win Rate	EV per $1 risked	EV for this trade ($380 risk)	Edge
25%	−25.0¢	−$95.00	✗ Losing
30%	−10.0¢	−$38.00	✗ Losing
35%	+5.0¢	+$19.00	✓ Positive
40%	+20.0¢	+$76.00	✓ Positive
45%	+35.0¢	+$133.00	✓ Positive
50%	+50.0¢	+$190.00	✓ Positive
60%	+80.0¢	+$304.00	✓ Positive

EV = (Win Rate × R:R) − (1 − Win Rate). Positive EV means the strategy is profitable long-term.

Break-even win rate = 1 ÷ (1 + R:R). A 1:2 ratio requires winning only 33% of trades to break even. Professional traders target at least 1:2.
