    If you had a strategy that has placed 1000 trades with a fixed R/R of 2.25:1 with an average win rate of 43.8%.

    Is the strategy & return good enough, or worth trading, for you?

    No, I ‘d want higher R and be ok with lower WR. That will scale, the other won’t.

    If you have such a system,
    You will reach financial freedom very soon.

    Unfortunately, most win rate is < 10% based on a decent RR ratio.

    But there are thousands of traders who achieve a win rate > 90%.
    Of course, they don't disclose their RR ratio.
    Whether they have to top up their trading accounts is another story.

    Good morning.

    33.6%

    Also, not a sales pitch - though it did sound like one :D

    I don't see how the metrics of this are bad, so I'm not sure why the negative feedback. If the win is $225, and the loss is $100, with a win rate of 43.8%, this looks like a damn good strategy. Even the low equity line on this simulation run is positive (if just barely). So essentially, there is a high chance of making decent money, and a very low chance of barely breaking even.

    He posited 1000 trades. Why'd you stop at 200?

    I agree with Noah. (Pretty rare :) )
    I have such a system and I'm happy with the performance.
    What you have to give us now is the rest of the story.
    Such as what risk, position size, and number of trades.
    Day, swing or position trading?
