Win rate
Win rate is the share of trades that made money. It is intuitive but easy to misread — a high win rate can still lose money if the losers are large.
⇄Before / after
Win rate, two ways
Before
Cuts winners early to keep the win rate high, and lets losers run "to be proven right".
→
After
Lets winners run and cuts losers fast — accepts a lower win rate for a higher expectancy.
✓Key takeaways
