1. What is Win Rate?
Win Rate is the percentage of your trades that are profitable. It's one of the most common ways to measure trading performance at a glance.
The formula used on the platform is:
(Total Winning Trades / (Total Winning Trades + Total Losing Trades)) * 100
- This calculation intentionally excludes breakeven and running trades to give you a clear success rate on all of your completed trades with a defined outcome.
2. Why It Matters
While a high win rate is often desirable, it doesn't guarantee profitability on its own. It must be analyzed alongside your Average Win vs. Average Loss.
💡 A strategy with a low win rate (e.g., 40%) can be very profitable if the average wins are significantly larger than the average losses. Conversely, a high win rate (e.g., 80%) can be a losing strategy if the few losses are massive enough to wipe out all the small wins.
