$6.34 back per fee dollar
At these numbers each fee dollar returns about $6.34. The purchase is positive IF the inputs are real: they must come from a broker export, trimmed of your top 5% of trades, over enough months to include a bad one.

What this is not. Not a strategy, not advice, and not a prediction of your results — it is the arithmetic of the firm's rules applied to the numbers you typed. If the numbers came from memory they are wrong in the direction that flatters you; the ones that matter are from your broker's export, with your top 5% of trades removed. Trades per day are Poisson; R has a lognormal spread (σ 0.35) around your averages; the stop is constant. Fees are defaults we last checked on the date shown and are probably stale — edit them.
