{quote} My systems work 40% of the time (win-rate) and I still make money because my average win is triple as big as my average loser. Win-rate alone doesnt mean the slightest thing. You can have a win-rate of 99% and win 5 pips each time and then 1% of the time lose 500 pips because of a huge SL that many systems use and youve then acutally LOST money. You always have to see win-rate and average winner / loser size in combination. Actually, and thats just for me, 40% or even 30% win-rate is more than sufficient for me as long as as my winners are...
I can't argue with that logic, definitely keep your losses small and wins big, one of the guys at my brokers says his win/loss rate is 50% and makes a good living. There are traders who say that they want to and do achieve the 80/20% ratio where by you go from trading as a hobby to trading as a buisness.
Also I'm wary of people who say they have this system or that system, what I'm saying is prove it over an extended time period
I don't want to sound like I know it all, still got ways to go before I could trade for a living

Trade long in early Euro session

Entry 14579
SL 14553
TP 14609
Pips 31.9

took trade cause of price action for euro plus 30min and 15min candles were both looking positive,would have got in earlier but hesitated.
moved SL to +5 once price moved above 14590 so free trade
price moved so fast past TP they gave an extra 1.9 pips, maybe a first in the history of FX.....LOL

I trade manually and have a win rate of 86%+ and 91%+ on my current 2 accounts. But in the end it's just a number. It doesn't really matter what is your win-rate, as long as you focus on each single trade the same way. I have learned 1 thing that 1 bad trade can take on your 10 good trades. I have been trading this account since 4-5 months.

P.S:- Just thought to share after reading your post

I think we are going down today but 1.45 should hold. But I'm out for now. Waiting for a clear direction.
