We take the total
net profit or loss percent for all trades and divide by the total
number of trades to get the average profit per trade per day. For
trades under $2 we use the same method but limit only to trades that
have an entry price under $2. We start tracking the trades at 8:00
AM and close all open trades at 4:00 PM Eastern time.
