Win rate,
and the one that breaks even.
The share of your trades that made money. On its own it says little: what matters is how it compares with the win rate you need to break even.
Win rate = winning trades ÷ all trades. Break-even = average loss ÷ (average win + average loss)
A 40% win rate can make money and a 70% one can lose it. The break-even win rate tells you which: it’s your average loss divided by your average win plus your average loss. Win more often than that and your wins pay for your losses.
45 wins and 55 losses is a 45% win rate. Winners average $200 and losers $100, so you break even at $100 ÷ ($200 + $100) = 33%. At 45%, you’re ahead.
