Win Rate

What it means

Win rate shows how often a system wins, but not how much it makes or loses on those trades.

What to watch

A high win rate can still lose money if average losers are much larger than average winners.

Where traders usually run into this

Win Rate is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.

• Expectancy keeps this term attached to a real glossary instead of leaving it as standalone jargon.
• Risk-Reward Ratio keeps this term attached to a real glossary instead of leaving it as standalone jargon.
• Drawdown keeps this term attached to a real glossary instead of leaving it as standalone jargon.

Best next page if this term is blocking you

If you understand the definition but still do not know what to do with it, start with Expectancy. That page is the fastest way to see how win rate shows up in a real glossary workflow.
