Let’s say you start with 1k and your win rate is 70%. You take 30% profit and 30% loss fixed. End of 100 trades you net around 45k excluding fees.
If your win rate is 60% you end up with 2k.
What’s the lesson? Be selective and keep your win rate high. You’ll win

How to ensure win rate is high?
Buy calls at support and puts at resistance
Trade highly liquid names to avoid slippage
Take advantage of breakouts
I’ll suggest just scalp every day
Don’t wait for 30% loss, use time based stop loss. 5m trade didn’t work, get out
#driptip
How to ensure you loose less?
Stop over trading
Stop chasing or FOMO
Stop buying weeklies on Thu
Don’t wait for 30% profit target. If it’s not working, sell for 10%
Stop trading strikes with wide spread
