Does anyone know what High Probability trading means? - page 2

For me it's very simple and precise of a definition.

High probability just means high win rate.

Low probability means low win rate.

Both can be equally profitable depending on the ratio of average profit to average loss :)

 

Perhaps it means literally, he uses the winning rate, which is the success rate of each order, to trade, ensuring that each order has a high success rate, unlike hedge trading, channel trading, or high-frequency trading

Perhaps Bayesian type strategies belong to  "High probability trading"

 
High Probability trading refers to a strategy that traders use to identify potential trades where the odds are in their favor. These strategies typically involve specific patterns, indicators, or setups that have a track record of leading to a profitable outcome more often than not. The goal is not to win every single trade, but to win a high percentage of trades over time. Remember, while high probability trading can improve your odds, it's important to manage risk appropriately as no strategy is foolproof.
 
Having a high probability strategy means having a high chance of winning the next trade. By theory that means having a mean reversion strategy, which usually capitalized on quick returns, not big risk to reward ratio.
 

this is just a click-bait sentence, used to attract new traders. There are two types of marketing nowadays, the very basic one which talks about high probability and the second (more subtle) that is all about risk reward. The latter doesn't even mention that there is some math connection between risk reward and win rate. In one way or another, both type of marketers want to make you believe that trading is easy. In both cases the market is perceived as an ATM machin that will always give you money.

We all know how difficult trading is.
