well...one has to remember that those investing championships
are not indicative how a professional trader would trade - in order
to win those you have to be super aggressive make big bets on
things to make big wins in order to stand out- like lose 10 bets
and win big on one huge bet - that puts betting style skews your
stats in the win/loss deparment - you would not be betting that
aggressively in real life trading where you are doing it for a
living
I think 60% win rate is normal for pro traders I know
Obviously the 9-8:1 win/loss rate 90% - 80% on the SPY and ES
systems is pretty kick ass. Reversion to mean can be like that.
KISS Trend probably more like 60% but the big trend moves make up
for the whips
