just asking

how can we expect constant positive results in a totally random market

what are your feeling about total random entries ( buy and sell same time ) with a risk / reward of 1:3 and multiple partial closing every 10 pips

let me hear

Surely its possible to make a win in a random market, or at a roulette table, or throwing dices. Every win will eventually have an equal amount of losses, though.
The expected return is 0.

Well, 0 minus all trading costs.

@roar sure . but when we lose we lose $1 and when we win we win $3 . and take small profits up and down ??? partial close

If you take bigger profits than losses from the random market, it's just the probability distribution that changes.

In the case of $1 loss and $3 profit, your trades will lose 75% of the time and reach TP 25% of the time.
Expected profit: 0.25 x 3 - 0.75 x 1 = 0
