{quote} The fact that the last 70 trades are all winners is irrelevant in determining the chances of the next trade being a winner. Let's replace the 10 years of backtesting with 10 years of real data. So, the 70% win rate over 10 years gives 70% chance that the next trade is a winner. As for the STREAK of 70 wins in a row, this is highly unusual and would be cause for an investigation into what MIGHT have changed. If you system were 100% mechanical, then the two places to look for change are the market and your broker.
nice try but the real answer is.......wait for it .........50%..." the past does not equal the future"

{quote} And so you present a single case, which is essentially of no value when presented alone. "After the doctors told me that I have incurable cancer, I started eating 500 grams of pistachios a day without consciouslychanging anything else in my lifestyle. Two months later, my cancer was cured (in total remission)! Therefore, everybody with the cancer that I had will be cured by following what I did."
What do you mean single case?

It didn't only happen once to me and it didn't happen to me alone. There's no word single here.

{quote} The outcome of one trade is always 50/50 The outcome of 400 trade defines the 'win rate' of your strategy /system /Ai. Let say out of the last 400 trades your win rate is '60%'. Meaning you win 240 and lose 160. If you looked deeper you saw that out of the 20 trades you won 12 and lose 8 (which defines the 60% win rate). Now what we dont know is how the 8th losing trades will be distributed amongst the 20 trades. Could be the first 8 in a row or the last 8 or something in between. So, that one particular trade outcome is 50%. But the outcome...
LOL. How do you think that a 50/50 outcome gets established? For coin flipping, a coin is flipped a LOT of times, the number of heads and number of tails each totaled and the ratio normalized to 100. So, if the coins are flipped 10 times, will there be 5 heads and 5 tails? Of course not. In fact, do 10000 flips and record them. Now split the list at every 10th flip to make 1000 groups of 10 flips, then calculate the ratio H/T for each group. Some of those 1000 groups will be 50/50. Now make a histogram from the 1000 groups based on the number of heads in the group. Find the number of heads for the entire 10,000 flips. How does that look compared to 5000 (50%)? How does your histogram look? Divide the number of heads found in the entire 10000 flips by 1000. Where does this number fall on the histogram?

Look at the list of H and T of your 10000 flips. Do you see 4 consecutive flips that are the same (either all H or all T)? If yes, did the probability of the next flip after those four being H change? Look for an even longer sequence like 6, 7, or 8 flips the same. Starting from the beginning of this "long" sequence, did the probability of the next flip being the same as the previous flip increase, such that after the 3rd consecutive flip being the same, you will wager more on the next flip being the same? How about after the 4th flip the same? Or the 5th flip?

{quote} Above trade closed for 20 pips. I have just opened a buy trade , hopefully we can get a Friday afternoon push. Cheers. {image}
The Friday push was not to be, and I closed with a small loss on the above trade. I will look for a up move on Monday to enter some shorts provided that the high at 1.3142 ish is not broken. My future weekly pivot at 1.29943 ish just below 1.300 beckons as well as a cyclic down move not confirmed yet. I take it as it comes.

For the win rate believers. You can have a 90% win rate and close with small profits but you better have your stops very tight because the market will smash your 90% win rate in seconds and close your account. I have been there.
You can have a 40% win rate as long as you let your winners run and still lose as much as you want. My worst longer term trade currently at 1280 pips profit and I have time to breathe and make a very informed decision and these decisions only come with time.
Take care.

Also, what makes you think I really care if I couldn't post on this website? It would be a bigger loss for the website than for me.
That is tasty bait for getting an immediate suspension followed by determination as to revoking membership. A wiser choice would be to delete the questionable posts if you believe the majority of your posts are of significant value.

Exactly... Win rate means nothing. My system has 41%-win rate and 4,727,779,328% Capital Growth. But then again, I'm a believer so...

...of course it's fact ...win rates are only measured of what has happened not what's going to happen how hard is it for you to understand, if you bet on black 100 times and have 100 wins great I've got 100% win rate, so what's the chance of the next spin being black taking zero green out of it ....answers on a postcard please...

Its been a while i stopped trying to put logic in my trading.
Saw a setup, put on the trade, the market tells me when i'm right. My stop loss tells me when i'm wrong.
Doing it couple of time, end up with a net gain.
Took out some of the money, put it into some sh*tcoin, 20x the hell out of it. Me end up with money that is tax free.
For me nothing get me happier than seeing uncle sam watching me make money, and they aint getting a slice of it.
Nothing else mattered
