A 26% Win Rate Is Profitable… If You Do This One Thing
When people first start trading, they focus on their win rate.
They try their best to have the highest win rate possible.
But contrary to popular belief, your win rate is not that important.
In fact… you can lose the majority of your trades…
And still make a profit…
If you just remember to do one thing.
So today, I’m going to break down what you need to focus on first before you focus on your win rate.
Every trade has a risk-return ratio.
This ratio is the amount of money you’re risking with each investment.
So for example…
A 1:1 ratio means you’re risking $1 to potentially make $1.
A 1:5 ratio means you’re risking $1 to potentially make $5.
If you just focus on trades that have good risk-return ratios, then you can profit even with a low win rate.
Which begs the question, what’s a good risk-return ratio?
Most people might say it’s 1:7… or even 1:10… but the answer is much lower than that.
So, let’s use the 26% win rate for example.
What does your risk-return ratio needs to be in order to profit with a 26% win rate?
Just 1:3.
That’s it.
By simply focusing on trades with a 1:3 risk-return ratio… you would profit with a 26% win rate.
But how do you find these 1:3 trades?
