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.
