sample size

How many examples your results come from. More examples make a result more trustworthy.

The fuller meaning

The number of cases behind a statistic. Small samples can show extreme win rates by luck, so a rate from a few cases is less certain than one from thousands; the app shows the sample size next to every scanner rate, and backtests need 30 to 50 trades as only a first look.

sample size, also called sample.
