Win rate alone means nothing
Risk · OnlyTrade trading school
A strategy that wins 70% of the time and loses three times what it makes is a losing strategy; one that wins 35% at 1:3 is a good one. The pair that matters is win rate AND the ratio between the average win and the average loss — together they give expectancy, the money per trade you can expect over many. The app shows R:R on the forecast's level rail for this reason: a target twice as far as the stop lets you be wrong more often than right and still finish ahead.
