Win rate is not a success metric.
Profit factor is.

A 68% win rate sounds convincing. In reality it is one of the most misleading metrics in the field. This primer explains why, and what to look at instead.

Win rate tells you only ONE thing: how often a trade closed in profit. It says nothing about how big the win was, how big the loss was, or whether the sum of wins covered the sum of losses.

Look at what happens with two imaginary systems, each trading 100 trades:

Figure 1. The same hundred trades. The higher win rate loses, the lower one earns. Win rate alone does not tell you which side you are on.

Profit factor (PF), the sum of all profit divided by the sum of all loss. PF = 1.00 means net zero. PF = 1.20 means that for every 1 EUR of loss there is 1.20 EUR of profit. Institutional filters usually look for PF ≥ 1.30. Below 1.00 is a losing system, regardless of win rate.

Figure 2. Profit factor answers the question win rate cannot: did the wins cover the losses. 1.00 means break even.

Let us apply this framework to our flagship signal, Techno Long Term. The figures are a direct snapshot from MQL5 in May 2026.

The win rate is strong (68.31%), but on its own it is not a reason to subscribe. The critical number is PF 1.22: for every 1 EUR of loss, 1.22 EUR of profit. The system earns not because the wins are bigger, but because they are more frequent.
