LOSSES are part of trading ..................most professional traders should have 50 % or mor more losing trades

they make up the losses with positive expectancy of their systems

 

That's open to debate for sure.

"Should have 50% or more losing trades" sounds like a system in a drawdown.



The CL has been great lately and you do not need to lose more than 50% in order to be a successful trader. Sure you can make money with a winning rate below 50%, but it's not necessary. I'm sure you would take your system as is if you could factor in a 50%+ win rate... I doubt many would say no thanks, I much prefer to lose more than 50% of the time.

I wish I could be a real trader with 80 % and 90 % hit rate using mechanical system entry and exits.It would be good for my ulcers

Unfortunately all my profitable systems have win rates of between 30 to 55% , say average 42 % ............and low drawdowns of around 8% maximum , and each system has to produce 8% per annum

I lose or breakeven 58% of the time but then I am happy with the profitability of my 10 systems

This system is not fully tested ............but it does catch the trends and I think it can be adapted very well .

I would like to run it on demo for a couple of months

The more risk you take ,the higher the reward and the greater the blowouts.Capital retention is the most important aspect of trading in my books

I get that the numbers MAY work with a winning % below 50%, but they can also work if above 50%.

Your previous stated that a trader should expect below a 50% win rate to be successful.

That's simply not true.

You can win 60% of the time and make money. You can win 75% of the time and make money. Winning percentage is one part of the equation and by no means a be all, end all.

 

You are correct

Although systems may have 50% plus hit rates ,Traders should trade systems on the basis of 35% winning rate.Recently I saw a system of 50% hit rate +, it ACTUALLY performed at 30 % and blew everybody's accounts
