I'm a bit confused about this. I didn't know what this means and had to look it up.
Is '0.26 (99.98%)' as it's supposed to be? The percents seem to indicate that the 0.26 should actually be calculated as 1/n = 3.85?
Or have I misunderstood this completely? Has this been 'turned around' so that the smaller the number the better the expectancy?
I found this chart:
Z-Score & Confidence Limit (%)
3.00 / 99.73%
2.58 / 99.00%
2.33 / 98.00%
2.17 / 97.00%
2.05 / 96.00%
2.00 / 95.45%
1.96 / 95.00%
1.64 / 90.00%
EDIT: Seems that everyone has got a 99.98%?

Bbut what does it mean to me?
Is the 99.98% a confidence figure?
Or a probability of bankruptcy figure?
Which is why I say, either its really good
Or really bad :)

Guys, I've just noticed this topic.
Here's an explanation we've posted in our blog:
The sign doesn’t make the z-score value any better or worse – what we’re looking to see is a z-score value greater than 1.96 or less than -1.96 (Equal to 95% probability or better).
While z-score tells us if the streak of losses/wins are random or not, the sign simply tells us if the dependence is positive or negative, meaning:
Z-Score negative – dependence is positive.
Z-Score positive – dependence is negative.
Positive dependence – a profit will be followed by a profit and a loss by a loss.
Negative dependence – a loss will be followed by a profit and a profit by a loss.
And how certain can we be that it will happen? This is the percentage that is shown to you in your system’s z-score value. So for example, if z-score = 2.17(97.0%), it means there is a 97% confidence level that a loss will be followed by a profit and a profit by a loss (negative dependence). In such case you would want to miss a trade after a profit and take a trade after a loss to maximize profits and minimize losses.
Hope that’s clear enough! We’ll add a section describing it in full, in the next several days.

Thanks for the explanation! I read the comments on your blog and the links too.
What is still confusing me is that the probability percent always seems to be 99.98%. On every system. There's a bug in the code? Or does it update at certain times only and gets calculated correctly later?

Ok, we've found an issue in our calculations - the fix is ready, however it will be applied only during the weekend as it involves a short period of downtime.
I apologize for any inconvenience.
Thanks for reporting it!

Z-Score (Probability): -3.53 (204.62%)
204 percent? :)
Shouldn't 100% mean that it will allways happen? I wonder how this is actually calculated...

Yes, statistically speaking, it can't be more than 100% 😄 - the fix is already ready so it will be applied during the next update.

Hello,
I have got Zscore -3.71 (-245.24%) for one of my systems.
Is that really possible? If so, how can I use that to make my system even better?
