You're missing a big part ... The risk vs reward (R:R) ... Winrate alone means nothing.

What if you win 2x20 and lose 1x100 ?

That's over thinking.

Why cannot just take it as all equal? 1 means 1 and 2 means 2.

I may have misunderstood your thread title. If you meant to have a 2:1 R:R then fine.

My understanding was you win 2 trades and lose 1 trade.

You can.

But you need to specify that.

If you say “win 2/3, lose 1/3 with R=1”, then people know what you mean.

Also, if you say “win 1/2, lose 1/2 with R=2”, then people know what you mean.

If you don’t say either, then we all have to guess what you mean.

Assuming a 1-R, winning 66% of the time is unachievable. Above 1-R, win rate of 66% is impossible.

if it's that simple why are you asking us? 2 is bigger than 1, winning is better than losing so it must be good.

Win 2, lose 1" sounds solid! That’s a 66% win rate, which can be really profitable if your winners are bigger than your losers. Definitely achievable with a good strategy and discipline.

It is achievable but it depend on your risk reward. 2 win and 1 loss on a 1:1 is possible. Any ratio more then 1:1 with that winrate are really rare to find

Win rates doesnt matter, the ONLY thing that matters is how much you eventually make/lose per trade and the sum of this over hundreds/thousands of trades..

If your risk to reward ratio is 1:1, then that's phenomenal results. Keep achieving that daily and you will become one of the most profitable traders around.

I think even with 1:1 RR, the main game is all about managing and executing the win rate.
