Why Can a High-Win-Rate Trading Strategy Still Lose Money Over the Long Term?

Many traders like to pursue a high win rate.

A 70% win rate sounds pretty good.

An 80% win rate seems even better.

But one easily overlooked issue is this: if each loss is much larger than each gain, you can still end up losing money even if you’re right most of the time.

Win rate determines how many times you win, but it cannot, by itself, determine how much you ultimately make.

I. A Simple Mathematical Example

Suppose two strategies each make 100 trades.

Strategy A: High win rate, low reward-to-risk ratio

$JCT SHORT SETUP — SELLERS STILL IN CONTROL!

Entry: 0.006265
SL: 0.007200

TP1: 0.005800
TP2: 0.005300
TP3: 0.004900

$JCT remains under bearish pressure after a sharp rejection from higher levels. Recent recovery attempts have struggled to hold, while sellers continue defending resistance. A break below 0.005800 could open the way toward deeper downside targets.

Invalidation: A sustained move above 0.007200 weakens the bearish setup.

December 2021
Back then, at 97, I lost over 10 million in a single day, which threw me off balance. Over the next three months, I lost another 10 million...
Starting from -250,000, I made 30 million in one bull market, then ultimately lost 20 million+ in a single quarter.
That was the second low point in my trading career.
During this third low point in my trading career,
I just want to tell myself:
I believe the game in the first half of my life has been more exciting than that of 99.9% of people.
But the game in the second half of my life has only just begun.

Google uses Veo to fill gaps in Esther Mahlangu’s memories from before 1980
Google Arts & Culture launched the first online retrospective of South African artist Dr. Esther Mahlangu to mark her 91st birthday. Curator Dr. Nontobeko Ntombela writes that the collection contains almost nothing about her life before 1980, so the team accordingly used memories narrated by Mahlangu herself to generate still images, then turned them into videos with Veo, filling the gap between her starting to paint at age 10 and her first documented works.
【The archive breaks off in 1980】

$SNXX Up 15.63% in a day to 4.118, then plunged back to 4.02; the 24h low was 3.18. This is a classic shakeout that flushes both longs and shorts. Trading value of 432M shows that funds are changing hands, not that the market is dead.
My plan is set: place limit orders to buy the pullback in the 3.55–3.68 range, with a stop-loss at 3.14 (if it breaks below the previous low, I’ll admit I’m wrong). Take profit by selling half near the first target of 4.10, around the previous high; the second target is 4.45. Keep the position size under 20%; don’t chase the current price.

Why do some traders review their trades every day and trade for a long time, yet their performance never improves?

They record every trade, study every loss, and even constantly adjust their strategy parameters.

But months pass, and the problems remain: losses keep recurring, trading rules are repeatedly revised, historical backtests look increasingly impressive, yet live trading shows no noticeable improvement.

The problem may not be a lack of effort in reviewing trades, but a flawed review method.

Jensen Huang went to college at 17. There were only 3 women in his class, one of whom was Lori, who later became his wife.
If you’ve seen photos of Lori when she was young, you can probably understand why Jensen Huang fell in love with her at first sight!
With her long, slightly wavy blonde hair and sweet, sunny smile, she looked just like a leading lady straight out of a 1990s Hollywood movie.
Their campus romance turned into a marriage after they graduated.
After the affair involving Jensen Huang and Huang Le came to light, Lori, his wife, has remained silent to this day.
