Win rate is simply the share of closed trades that ended in profit. It's the most intuitive strategy statistic, and the most commonly misread in isolation: a high win rate says nothing about profitability on its own, because a strategy can win 90% of its trades and still lose money overall if the rare losses are large enough to outweigh many small wins (and the reverse is equally true, a 35% win rate can be very profitable, see profit factor).
Win rate matters most when read together with average win size, average loss size, and trade frequency, which is exactly why zengtrade's Forward Test and Accuracy tabs always show win rate alongside profit factor and expectancy, never as a number on its own.
