Win rate is how often you win. Ten trades, six winners: a 60% win rate.

Sounds great, right? But win rate alone tells you almost nothing. Say your six winners make 1 dollar each. Your four losers lose 5 dollars each. You are down 14 dollars, with a lovely 60% win rate.

What matters is the average result per trade, after costs. Our Case 01 is a good example. The win rate was roughly what the claim said. But no edge was shown.
