Win rate
The share of profitable trades out of all trades. Meaningless on its own; together with R:R it determines expectancy.
A strategy that wins 90% of the time but loses 20R on a single loss (martingale, no stop) blows up in the long run; one that wins 35% of the time but pays 3R is profitable.
Win rate also determines how long losing streaks get: low win rate strategies call for psychological preparation for long streaks.
