Win rate

Also known as: hit rate, accuracy

Win rate is the percentage of trades that close with a profit.

A high win rate is not the same as profitability: a strategy can win 80% of the time and still lose money if the losers are far larger than the winners. Win rate must always be read together with risk-reward to judge expectancy.
