Unpopular opinion, but RR is highly over rated, win rate is highly under rated.
High RR does look good on social media (where only selective winners are shown, with massive RR's scored).
But in the real world, higher win rate:
- gives you more confidence
- allows you to risk more
-allows for higher frequency of trading (get out sooner, get back in sooner)
- higher frequency and win rate gives you more instant feedback (if a high win rate edge fails, that's a bigger red flag than a low win rate high RR edge failing, ie., that is more valuable feedback), whether your edge works (or doesn't) - very key in trading, a lot of edge on this platform is faulty.
This is true in trading, investing, probably anything you do in life too. Going for smaller steps and building your life is probably better than trying to go for one gigantic beyond-the-moon step and failing years to do so in the process beforehand.
So despite how "fantastic" it sounds as a written story to hit home runs and perform long grinds with no reward until the home run gain, incremental gain is more stable, mentally and realistically especially in finance.
Those bigger steps, only come once strong foundations are in place.
Focus on win rate first, then RR second.
This market is far more difficult than previous cycles, which is why there’s virtually no real edge or quality insight on this app.
Many of the people who “won” in 2021 didn’t succeed because of skill, they succeeded because everything went up. It was easy mode. Beginner mode. The market rewarded participation, not competence.
What you’re seeing now exposes a hard truth. Most people never understood the market in the first place.
Instead of adapting and evolving, they’ve clung to the same methods that only worked in a vertical environment.
To survive and make money in a market like this, you need traits that can’t be taught. Relentlessness. Obsession. Emotional detachment. Adaptability.
Ruthless competitiveness. Without these traits, you will not beat the market consistently over a prolonged period of time.
Be extremely selective about who you trust here. $BTC

This sentence hit me very hard when I was at my lowest.
hearing some horrible stories about people losing big accounts and committing self harm overnight
at the end of the day no money is worth ending your life over, there is always a solution
