In a series of 25 trades with a 50-50 win rate, each trade is independent of the others. The probability of losing any individual trade is 0.5 (50%), and the probability of winning is also 0.5.
To calculate the probability of a specific sequence of outcomes, you can use the binomial probability formula. For a losing streak of 3 trades in a row:
So, there's approximately a 0.0061% chance of experiencing a 3-loss streak in a series of 25 trades with a 50-50 win rate. Each trade's outcome doesn't affect the others, but the probability of a specific sequence depends on the individual probabilities of each outcome.
