Most traders lose not because the market is “rigged,” but because their risk sucks, their system sucks — or both. If you’re losing 70%+ of trades, that’s not bad luck, that’s bad trading. In this episode, we break down why win rate doesn’t matter as much as people think, how oversized bets kill accounts, and why chasing random setups with no edge guarantees failure.We dig into the brutal truth about risk management, system design, journaling, and forward testing. Can you really be profitable winning only 33% of the time? Yes — if your risk and reward are structured correctly. But if you keep swinging for home runs, oversizing positions, or trading garbage setups, you’ll blow up again and again.
