{quote} You are wrong. High win rate doesn't necessary mean you are profitable. You can have a 99% win rate and be a loser ... Like you can have a 1% win rate and be profitable. Win rate is nothing without the associated risk:reward ...
Think again. If one's trade is with 80% win rate for 1:1 risk:reward, he can make more money that you and can mantain a very low drawdown even if you would have a 40% win rate and 1:3 risk:reward.

Risk reward is nothing without the winning rate. First win rate, second risk:reward.
Money moves the market, not an indicator.

They are both factors of expectancy.
And they are "usually" negatively correlated.

High win rate is a result of :

  1. we are right most of the time (which I am not).
  2. we have a large stop loss and small profit target (which I don't like).

take 100 trades risk 1%, stops lets say 5 pips. 99 losers = -495 pips.​
1 winner of 500 pips minimum = 500 pips
which equals 5 pips profit

You must be aware that trading on high win rate doesn't mean what you explain here.

​and that's if you have a really really really bad win rate such as that one.
I mean lets say out of those 100 trades you have 5 that bank you 300 pips. that's 1500 pips... -475 and well 1025 profit isn't bad eh?

I know its all extreme but its fact and makes it clearer and easy to work out

you do NOT need a high win rate to be profitable, period.

[a] 80% win rate for 1:1 risk:reward

8 wins 2 losses = 8*1 - 2*1 = 6

[b] 40% win rate and 1:3 risk:reward

4 wins 6 losses = 4*3 - 6*1 = 6

If both the win rates improve by +10%,

[a] 90% win rate for 1:1 risk:reward

9 wins 1 losses = 9*1 - 1*1 = 8

[b] 50% win rate and 1:3 risk:reward

5 wins 5 losses = 5*3 - 5*1 = 10

The trader who favours 'First win rate, second risk:reward' has not found possible strategy with high risk:reward.

Likewise, the trader who favours 'First high risk:reward, second win rate' has not found possible strategy with high win rate.

Higher probability of outcome beyond the math is important determinant. See example above.

Rate of occurrence is also another factor to consider in the equation.

That is the excuse of those who will never climb the next stair. Think again, tons of e-books written by those that sustain right what you sustain. Now ask yourself, why don't you make money if what they teach you is true ?

I make money, and I'm not saying I trade the way I wrote.... I'm just proving that it's possible. Also if your trading 5 pip SL and getting 500 pips it means you are good at choosing good trades, period. It's factual and there isn't anything statistical to back up what you said.

+60% must surely be desirable. +70% requires low DD with good timing. Timing requires patience & discipline.

Most of such posters like master guru andoseg don't make money from trading. They're perennial losers that come on forums to let go off their steam. I'm not your buddy, tata. Now, back to high reward to risk discussion.

Please notice that this is a trading concept not a trading system.
Where we :

  1. Sell Highs and Buy Lows (share your methods of identifying these areas)
  2. Aim for high Reward to Risk
  3. Be Patient on Profit Taking and Impatient on accepting a loss
  4. Risk low (suggested 0.1% to 0.5% per trade)

    1. $1 to $5 on a $1000 account
    2. Lot Size 0.02 with stop loss of 5 to 25 pips on a $1000 account.

My focus will be on GU/EU/Gold.

Members are allowed to share their trades on others pairs.

Trades posted as close as possible to entering time, with Entry price, Stop Loss Price, 1st profit target price (optional).
Charts are not necessary at entry time and can be posted later on.
