In trading, your winners really don’t count. It is the losers that make the difference. Does your system minimize your losses when you are wrong and maximize profits when you are right.
For this trade, we were wrong. The system minimized our loss which is exactly what we want it to do.
There is no system that is 100% correct. In fact, winning vs losing ratio does not really matters. What matters is the reward/risk ratio.
A technical system without money management will fail.
