There is something that drives me absolutely crazy, maybe more than anything else, and that is an annoying habit of many brand-new traders… In fact it’s more of an attitude than a habit. And that is the newbie fixation on win rates. I have one thing to say about win rates and I mentioned it in my [Premarket Prep]( yesterday: They are absolutely meaningless. Yet so many green traders still believe their win rate should be astronomical, like close to 90%. Let’s put this into perspective: The best, most seasoned traders out there have win rates of 50 to 60%. Sponsored Only Have 1 hour to Trade a Day? I love trading, but even I don’t want to trade all day. So when one of my millionaire students, Bryce Tuohey, told me he was using a strategy where he’s done trading by 10:15am, I was intrigued. Here’s a track record and just some of his wins: 60.78% gain (9:32 a.m.), 52.17% gain (9:39 a.m.), 60.0% gain (9:30 a.m.), 166.67% gain (9:38 a.m.) I noticed he was making most of his trades within an unusual 15-minute “sweet spot” each morning. [Get ALL The Details on This “Sweet Spot”.]( It completely defies logic to think that as someone who is brand new at something, you’re going to win a greater percentage of the time than someone who’s been at it for years. That’s just silly! Look at Paul Tudor Jones, a legendary billionaire hedge fund manager… His win rate is rumored to be around 60%, and that’s considered relatively high!

When you're just starting out in trading, it's natural to think that success is all about how often you win. I get it – winning feels good. But here's the kicker: win rates don’t really tell the whole story… Think about it… You could be winning 70% of your trades, but if your average loss is significantly larger than your average win, you will still end up in the red. It's like being on a treadmill – you feel like you're moving forward, but in reality, you’re going nowhere. Trading is all about managing risk and maximizing your reward-to-risk ratio. Back to billionaire hedge fund manager, Paul Tudor Jones… His mantra is, The most important rule of trading is to play great defense, not great offense. By the way, every trader needs to know his or her own risk tolerance and how to manage it. Watch my video on how to manage risk. [[ratio]  ]( All traders, new or veteran, need to ask themselves this question: Would you rather win 7 out of 10 trades and break even, or win 4 out of 10 trades and double your account? If you choose to win 4 out of 10 trades and double your account, you’ll want to know what you should really focus on… It has nothing to do with your win rate… [What Do Successful Day Traders Focus On?]( - Tim Bohen Lead Trainer, StocksToTrade Sponsored     Sponsored ACCESS NOW: Click to activate these complimentary membership gifts and receive daily market intel.
