win rate

How often your trades win, like 4 wins out of every 10 trades.

The fuller meaning

The share of trades that win, also called hit rate or, for scanner patterns, success rate. It means little alone: with 1.5-to-1 payoffs as in this app, about 4 wins in 10 only break even, while small wins need a very high win rate. Judge it with average win and loss over a large sample.
