Win Rate

The percentage of your trades that ended in a profit.

Definition

Win rate is the share of trades that made money, expressed as a percentage. It is easy to understand but easy to misread: a high win rate can still lose money if the few losers are large, and a low win rate can be very profitable if the winners are big. Always read it alongside profit factor and expectancy.

Example

Out of 20 trades, 12 were profitable. Your win rate is 12 / 20 = 60%.

Why it matters

Win rate alone is meaningless without average win vs average loss — a high win rate can still lose money.

Frequently asked questions

Is a high win rate good?

Not necessarily — if your losers are much larger than your winners, you can still be net negative.

What pairs with win rate?

Profit factor and average R, which capture the size of wins vs losses.
