Expected Value & Edge

Trading is the business of repeatedly taking positive-expected-value bets and sizing them to your edge. The maths is light — a probability-weighted average — but the discipline is everything: you act on EV, not on the most likely outcome, and you pass when there's no edge.

Included with the Trading pack

The full concept notes is part of the Trading & Execution pack — a one-time purchase unlocks every concept, coding guide, interview playbook and take-home in this track.
