What Is a Trading Edge?
A trading edge is a repeatable advantage that increases the probability of favorable outcomes over a series of trades.
It does not guarantee profits on individual trades.
Instead, it defines a framework where risk, probability, and execution work together over time.
A trading edge exists when:
-
rules are clearly defined
-
outcomes are statistically measurable
-
risk is controlled
-
results are repeatable over many trades
There is no edge without discipline and consistency.
An edge is not:
-
a single indicator
-
a secret strategy
-
a prediction of future price
It is a process-based advantage, not a shortcut.
