๐Ÿคฏ CAN YOU WIN MOST OF YOUR TRADES AND STILL LOSE MONEY?
YES! Your win rate doesn't tell the whole story. ๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ”น 1๏ธโƒฃ Small Wins, Big Losses
Making $5 repeatedly but losing $30 on one trade can erase several wins.
๐Ÿ”น 2๏ธโƒฃ Ignoring Risk-to-Reward
Potential profit matters less if the possible loss is much larger.
๐Ÿ”น 3๏ธโƒฃ Trading Fees
Frequent trades can reduce your net returns.
๐Ÿ”น 4๏ธโƒฃ Moving Your Stop
Turning a planned small loss into a large one can damage your results.
๐Ÿ”น 5๏ธโƒฃ Measuring Only Win Rate
You should also track average profit, average loss, and total costs.
๐Ÿ’ก Example:
Four trades earn $5 each, but one trade loses $30. Your total is a $10 loss before fees.
Winning frequently isn't enough. Your overall trading performance matters.
๐Ÿ‘‡ What matters more to you: win rate or risk-to-reward ratio?
