Win Rate

Share of trades that closed in profit — useless without average win vs avg loss

Category: Trading & Pricing Also known as: 5 Related terms: 2

Definition

Number of profitable trades ÷ total trades. Often quoted as a quality-signal but misleading on its own — a 90% win rate with tiny gains and rare huge losses can still bankrupt the account. Always pair with avg-win/avg-loss ratio.

Context anchor

Our Kraken bot 71% win rate but -274% cumulative — avg win +0.96%, avg loss -3.84% (4×)

Example

71% win rate sounds great, but cumulative was -274% — small wins, big losses
