Unfortunately, many beginner traders misunderstand the percentage of wins. Winning most trades is fun, but not so if the trade does not take consistent profit. So, don't be easy to believe if someone states that the strategy you use wins 90%. It sounds tantalizing, but the real key is profit alias. One strategy can have a different impact on some people.
If our goal is to get consistent profits, the percentage of victory will not be as important as the quantity of victory compared to how much you lose when you make a mistake.

The strategy with 90 percent victory is there but it is difficult to apply for traders who still cannot think realistically because the strategy certainly uses the smallest lot.

regarding the percentage of profit and loss all must be seen in full relation to the risk reward ratio

yes, Risk and reward are also very influential because it's better to use Risk reward 1: 2

it is better because the higher the comparison, the harder it will be and it requires special skills to get it

many claim to have a 90 percent accurate system but in my opinion it does not necessarily match the character of each trader.

maybe what you mean is not the accuracy of an indicator / analysis for the percentage of profit, for example 90% profit from someone's analysis. not the size and accuracy or accuracy. but the most important thing is consistency in a profit.

actually if we use the correct money management if the percentage of win and lose above 50% can still remain proit as long as the risk reward ratio is 1: 2 means that when the loss is twice then it is enough to close the loss.

When talking about the percentage of profit in forex, beginner traders often get stuck with a mindset: large numbers of profit percentage will produce big results. In fact, in fact, the profit percentage number does not give an idea of the profitability of a trading strategy.

it is very misleading for a beginner if he wants to follow the seniors who make targets for his trade

there is no technique for which 90% accuracy is only enough to find a technique that has 50% accuracy to be able to profit consistently.

right, indeed there is no system with an accuracy of up to 90%, all systems are the same as pak, depending on the understanding of the trader itself in its application.
