Many people see a low win rate and think they can't make money. In fact, the root of the problem is not the win rate itself, but whether the trading method you choose is initially at a disadvantage.
Honestly, making money is not difficult. The hard part is that most people are pushed to the edge of a cliff before they even start.
Let's first discuss an often-overlooked truth: win rate and final results are not the same thing.
Suppose you only get 4 out of 10 trades right, but each time you make a large profit and cut losses quickly, your account can still grow steadily. Conversely, winning 7 out of 10 trades, but having one large position go out of control, can wipe out all previous gains instantly. The key to the account's trajectory is the risk-reward ratio structure.
The second common pitfall is position sizing. It's not a matter of poor judgment, but rather chaotic position management. Full positions, leverage stacking, frequent position switching—these may look active on the surface, but in reality, they accelerate the depletion of your capital. When the market moves slightly against you, traders are already forced out. Those who survive are usually doing this: small positions for testing → add more if correct → cut losses immediately if wrong.
The third issue is understanding of stability. Many are obsessed with the fantasy that a single trade can turn around or that a certain market wave can bring huge profits. But the growth of any account relies never on a few risky bets, but on a trading system that can be repeatedly executed. As long as you keep practicing consistently, even if progress is slow, the curve will eventually rise on its own.
So instead of worrying about whether your win rate is high or low, ask yourself: Am I often over-leveraging? Are my operations too frequent? Will a single mistake directly cause serious damage?
Choosing the right method makes whether the market is favorable just a matter of time. If the method is wrong, no matter how beautiful the trend, it will just pass by you.
Currently, the scale of RWA is continuously expanding, and mainstream coins like SOL are also expected to rise. But opportunities are never lacking; what’s missing is the resolve to take action.

Well said, going all-in with leverage is like committing suicide. How many people have been knocked out directly by this combo?

Really speaking, people who are all-in don't deserve to talk about win rate.

Position management is the real ceiling; win rate is just an illusion.
---
I used to operate with a gambling mentality, but now that my account is stable, I feel more comfortable.
---
This small-position exploration method is indeed excellent; patience is the hardest part.
---
The dream of turning things around requires戒, that's the gambler's logic.
---
Willpower, brother, this is probably the most valuable thing.

Having the wrong approach is more deadly than bad luck; I’ve learned this lesson.

Those who went all-in with a heavy position all died; the ones still alive are all the small traders just scraping by.

Exactly right, the win rate is just a number that doesn't mean much; the key is to survive.

Brothers who are fully leveraged and over-committed, it's really time to wake up.

Basically, it's just poor position management; no matter how high your win rate is, it can't save you.
