In November I made $70K on $CleanSpark, Inc.(CLSK)$ in 10 days… and was still down over $100K on the month. 🩸
Same system. Same rules. Different sequence.
Most traders see that and think “system is broken” and go hunting for a new one.
The real issue isn’t the system, it’s how you think about it.
Win rate is overrated.
What actually matters is:
– average win vs average loss
– how much you make when you’re right
– how little you lose when you’re wrong.
Example: risk 1R per trade.
When you’re right, you make +3R.
When you’re wrong, you lose -1R.
Win rate: 50% (a coin flip).
10 trades:
5 wins → +15R
5 losses → -5R
Net: +10R
You were “wrong” half the time and still crushed it.
That’s how my real trading looks: win rate ~60%, but average win way bigger than average loss.
Drawdowns still happen.
A red month doesn’t mean you’re broken.
If you followed your rules, it just means you hit the “tails” part of the sequence.
My rules: risk 1–2% per trade, judge execution not outcome, size small and let the math work.
If you struggle with this, I made a free “Disciplined Trader” mini‑course that walks through my risk rules, routines, and journaling so you don’t nuke your system in a drawdown.
