The single rates of return can be considered as absolute returns in cents if one assumes that there is always 1$ in the game (value of any open position). The sum of all positive (negative) returns gives the gross profits (losses). The gross rate of return (per year) is then the difference between gross profits (per year) and gross losses (per year). If one subtracts transaction costs one gets the net rate of return (the number of transactions is always twice the number of open positions and, hence, of the single returns).
The gross rate of return (GRR) of any technical trading model can be split into six components, the number of profitable/unprofitable positions (NPP/NPL), the average return per day during profitable/ unprofitable positions (DRP/DRL), and the average duration of profitable/unprofitable positions (DPP/DPL). The following relationship holds:[9]
GRR = NPP4DRP4DPP − NPL4DRL4DPL
