Understanding Risk-Reward in Practice
Too many traders fixate on win rate, but that's only half the story. A high win rate with poor risk-reward, say consistently risking $2 to make $1, is a slow bleed; eventually the losses will erase all your small wins. Conversely, a lower win rate with a solid risk-reward of 1:2 or 1:3 can still be profitable overall. It’s a numbers game you need to manage consciously, not just blindly chase entries.

Absolutely, risk-reward is paramount. I've seen too many new traders get caught up in the allure of high win rates without understanding the underlying math. It's not about being right often, it's about being profitable consistently.
