Win rate(Win rate)

The ratio of profitable trades to total trades. It is meaningless on its own; together with R:R it determines expectancy.

Also written as: kazanma oranı · kazanç oranı · winrate

A strategy that wins 90% of the time but loses 20R on a single loss (martingale, no stop) blows up in the long run; a strategy that wins 35% of the time but pays 3R is profitable.

Win rate also determines the length of losing streaks: low win-rate strategies require psychological preparation for long streaks.
