The core misconceptions behind the 99% of retail traders who lose: obsessing over winning rate! You keep trying to precisely predict up or down for every trade. If you get a few wrong, you doubt your indicators, randomly switch trading systems, your emotions collapse as you accumulate losses, and you constantly change strategies—only to end up losing even more the more you tinker.
I’ve seen many people with extremely high winning rates who still keep losing and watching their accounts shrink. One student could get 6 or 7 correct out of 10—crushing the majority of retail traders. It looks like a sure thing, yet the account keeps bleeding and results only get worse the more he trades.
Looking back at the delivery orders, the problem is obvious: small gains are taken quickly, while big losses are held onto stubbornly. When in profit, he closes early with only small profits; when in a loss, he keeps hoping it’ll turn around and refuses to stop-loss—so the position keeps getting trapped, deeper and deeper.
One trade makes only 300U, but another loses 500U. No matter how high your winning rate is, you can’t withstand a distorted risk-reward ratio. Even if you execute correctly many times, you can’t offset the damage from a single large loss.
After he finally realized it, he completely changed his approach. He no longer fixates on how many wins versus losses, and instead focuses only on three core metrics: average profit, average loss, and the maximum loss you can tolerate per trade.
From then on, he let go of his obsession with a high winning rate. Even with only a 40% win rate, as long as you strictly control losses and hold enough profit when you get it right, your account can still steadily grow through long-term compounding.
The real truth about getting rich in crypto: a high winning rate only helps you guess the direction correctly—while the risk-reward ratio determines whether you can keep your profits. Guessing right earns how much, guessing wrong loses how much—that is the ultimate core of trading compounding.
Top-tier traders never chase being correct every time. When I place trades, I don’t obsess over winning rate at all. I only look at two things: whether a wrong trade can be controlled and accepted, and whether a right trade is worth holding to battle for more.
The market doesn’t eliminate people who make mistakes—it eliminates people who stubbornly hold onto losses and let profits run wild. Keep losses controllable so you’re not panicking, and hold onto profits without vomiting them out—that’s the way of the trading king.
If you truly understand this logic, even after consecutive losing trades, you can protect your capital and stabilize your mindset. It’s not about winning-rate luck—it’s about risk control and the risk-reward ratio, which can help you steadily pull off a compounding reversal and turn your account around.
