Win rate is only one variable
A strategy can win often and still lose money if the occasional loss is much larger than the average win. The reverse can also be true.
Review win rate beside average win, average loss and the largest expected losing sequence.
Size translates ideas into account risk
The same entry can be controlled or reckless depending on position size and stop distance. Define the acceptable account risk first, then calculate size from the invalidation point.
Consistency survives variance
Keeping risk stable makes results easier to interpret. It also reduces the temptation to chase a target after a loss, one of the fastest ways to violate an evaluation limit.
