Why High Win-Rate Traders Still Blow Accounts
This surprises most beginners.
A trader can win 70–80% of trades
and still lose money.
How?
Because win rate alone means nothing.
Here’s the simple truth 👇
If you: • Win small
• Lose big
• Increase size emotionally
Your high win rate becomes a trap.
New traders feel confident because they win often.
Professional traders feel safe because they lose small.
The real formula that matters
It’s not: ❌ How often you win
It’s:
✅ How much you lose when you’re wrong
✅ How much you gain when you’re right
One big loss can erase:
• 5 wins
• 10 wins
• Weeks of discipline
That’s why consistency beats accuracy.
What smart traders focus on instead
They ask: • “Is this trade worth the risk?”
• “What’s my worst-case loss?”
• “Can I survive if I’m wrong?”
Because survival comes first.
Profits come second.
Key lesson
A trader who protects capital
will always outlast a trader who chases wins.
📌 Don’t aim to be right.
Aim to still be trading next month.
