A trader with a 90% win rate can still lose money if the losses outweigh the wins. The speaker breaks down why trade frequency and position sizing matter more than getting calls right.
She was very frustrated because she had a real high win rate, but she wasn't making any money. She was still losing money. She goes, brian, I've got like an 85% win rate and I'm not making money. What the heck? And so we got to looking at it and it was. It was really aggressive. But the thing is the way it was structured and the rules and everything, she could win 85% of her trades, but the one winner, when it came along, would wipe out just a ton of profit. And it was built into it. And so, you know, when we ran the numbers and ran the metrics on her system and I was able to walk her through it all, and she's like, I'm like, so do you really want to stick with this system? Because it's really going to be hard for you to get ahead with this. Every loser you hit is going to set you way back, and you're going to be very dependent on that 80 to 90% win rate.
