Full Definition
Win rate alone is uninformative. A 70% win-rate strategy with 1:0.5 RR (risk $1 to make $0.50) loses money long-term. A 40% win-rate strategy with 1:3 RR is highly profitable. JPTradingCapital's minimum strategy threshold is 50% win rate AND 5% net monthly return — both must be met.
