86% win ratio. Would have been 100% but I didn't want to leave trade open when I went to bed.
1.5% drawdown.
I suppose real trading will be different!!!

Nobody wins 100% over the long haul. Top money managers are happy with a 60-70% win rate. They know that limiting risk and letting profits run will allow for an excellent return.

Don't run after 100% profit. It's not possible.
For now you where just lucky.
Plan your trades carefully do not base them on your emotions...
Trade your plan!

Dont get to hung up on win ratio,as long as your winning trades are bigger than your lossing trades,you can have a 40% win ratio and still be in profit.True professional traders do aim for 70% no less,2% loss on a retail trade,5% on a portfolio ,mess up on risk management and your security card gets deleted during lunch break.
Be lucky!
Be lucky!

the key is to remain neutral with wins and losses.

I agree with this. If you just counting on your win/lose ratio, you might get yourself full with pride, which is not really good for a trader. Remain neutral and never stop learning. Your loss experience is your best teacher. As long as you willing to learn how to be profitable, you're a good trader.
