Re: How do you calculate points per trade?

I take the average for the entire position.

So lets say I took +10 for 1/2 position, +20 for 1/4 position, and +30 for 1/4 position. This will be an average of (10 + 25)/ 2 = 17.5 points.

I find it inaccurate for a trader to state he took 30 points in total when in reality that was only for a quarter position.
