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