Unpopular opinion:
Risk–reward is overrated. Win rate is underrated.
High RR looks great on social media—because you only see selective winners with massive R multiples.
In the real world, a higher win rate:
builds confidence
allows better risk sizing
enables higher trading frequency
provides faster, clearer feedback on whether your edge actually works
That feedback is crucial.
If a high win-rate edge fails, it’s a real red flag.
If a low win-rate, high-RR edge fails, you may never know if it was valid in the first place.
This applies beyond trading.
Incremental gains beat waiting years for a single home run.
Stability beats hype.
Strong foundations come before big moves.
Focus on win rate first.
Optimize RR second.
