For trend players, the win rate isn't that important. Only newcomers and analysts pay attention to this thing.
This doesn't mean that the win rate is unimportant; for traders who can already avoid losses, the win rate is much more significant. It's very meaningful. When you have a 35% win rate and can avoid losses, then increasing your win rate by just 5 percentage points can lead to profit. If you can further improve your win rate by another 5 points to reach 45%, then the market becomes your ATM.
Additionally, in special phases, the win rate is also quite important. For example, currently, there is no clear direction in the market, and we are in a choppy range where bulls and bears are at a stalemate. At this time, the importance of the win rate becomes evident. If the win rate is too low, it will repeatedly erode your capital, and by the time the market finally shows direction, your capital may have diminished significantly.
It is said that recently the trading conditions are hellishly difficult; after several days of trading, there have been no losses so far. Of course, it's impossible to have significant profits in the short term, as there are positions on both sides, and sometimes a hedging situation occurs. Each trade has a clear target and logic.
If your body can support watching the market for long periods, you can achieve better performance. During this time, keeping an eye on the market is especially important because securing a good position will allow you to remain undefeated once a direction emerges. However, it is crucial that during the time you secure a good position, your capital does not suffer significant losses.
For most ordinary players, the best strategy is to wait for the market to provide its direction and then follow it.
