What is Exit efficiency
What share of the way to the peak (MFE) the exit captured, from 0 to 100%. It measures the exit, not the entry.
How it works
Example
An exit at +1R with MFE +2.5R: 1 ÷ 2.5 = 40% of the way captured.
Common mistake
Chasing 100%: that only happens on trades closed by the target at the very extreme.
