Win Rate Explained​

Formula​

Win Rate = (Winning Trades ÷ Total Trades) × 100

Interpretation​

  • 70%+: Excellent (rare, be cautious)
  • 50-70%: Good (sustainable)
  • 40-50%: Average (need good R:R)
  • Below 40%: Needs improvement

Win Rate vs Profitability​

Important Truth​

❗ High win rate ≠ Profitable
❗ Low win rate can be profitable

What Matters: Win rate × R:R ratio

Example:

  • 40% win rate with 3:1 R:R = Profitable
  • 70% win rate with 1:2 R:R = Losing
