The Investor Diary Entry #93: December 7, 2025
Improving my Forex win loss ratio has become a priority in my current trading phase, and this post is part of documenting that journey. Today’s entry comes from a trading session itself, which is unusual for me. I normally record these thoughts on weekends, but the idea of working with a clearer thesis for each trade felt important enough to capture in the moment. I have been rethinking My Win Loss Ratio in Forex Trading through the lens of structure, behaviour, and how each trade develops its own story.

This article breaks down how I am restructuring my entire trading approach by moving away from batch entries and batch exits and shifting toward treating every trade as its own thesis. The plan now depends on identifying the daily stochastic trigger, reading support, resistance, trend direction, order flow, order blocks, inducement, and the overall trading range to form the story of each position. My stop-loss and take-profit are no longer preset numbers but structural points where the thesis either breaks or completes. This entry documents how this method influences improving my Forex win loss ratio and why the clarity behind each trade matters more to me than the number of wins or losses themselves.
The Shift From Batches to Individual Trade Stories
For a long time, my method was based on opening trade batches in one day and closing all of them together once the batch reached a certain positive return, usually around one or two percent. The next day I would start fresh with a new batch. That system worked until it didn’t. A moment last week changed everything. I opened trades on the 25th, and they went against me, but the thesis was still valid. So instead of closing them, I held on, added more on the 26th, and let the thesis guide me rather than the batch approach.
This pushed me to focus on what I call the thesis of a trade or the story of the chart. Each trade, rather than being part of a batch, now has its own set of structural elements that determine whether it stays alive or gets closed.
Building the Thesis Using Chart Elements
Each thesis starts with the daily stochastic on the daily timeframe. This is my trigger and the first step of my Solid Forex Trading Plan. Then come the classical chart factors: support, resistance, trend direction, and the elements I associate with SMC, such as the trading range, decisional order flow, order blocks, and liquidity areas. Sometimes I also see an alignment with Fibonacci retracement or an ABC structure. All these pieces create the narrative behind the trade.
For example, in one recent GBPUSD case, the daily stochastic crossed above the 80 level, the EMA 100 was bearish, the trend was bearish, and the SMC elements pointed downward. Even though some concerns appeared, like a broken line to the upside and the weekly timeframe showing upward movement, the overall thesis leaned toward a downward move. In this framework, the thesis becomes the stop-loss and take-profit. If the price goes above the EMA 100 or the stochastic moves midway and starts turning upward, the thesis breaks and the trade must close, even at a loss. If the structure breaks downward, the thesis is fulfilled and the trade closes in profit.
The Importance of Allowing Trades to Complete Their Story
There were trades like CADJPY where the price went deeply against me before realigning with the thesis. As long as the inducement was still active and the price respected the resistance, the thesis remained valid. Other trades, like EURJPY and AUDNZD, had their own challenges and reasons to stay open or be reconsidered. Every position now stands alone. No more batch closures unless the entire group clearly hits a strong profit zone.
This individual treatment of trades helps me understand My Win Loss Ratio in Forex Trading from the perspective of decision-making rather than statistics. Each trade has its own logic, and staying faithful to that logic is what I am practicing.
The Role of Mistakes and Temptations
Sometimes I enter a trade in the middle of the range, something I normally avoid. The temptation comes when the inducement looks close or the price action feels convincing. But the middle of the range is unpredictable. It can reverse, create a new structure, or invalidate inducement altogether. These mistakes remind me why clear rules matter and why the thesis approach keeps my plan grounded.
FAQ
What is a good win loss ratio for forex trading?
From my experience, the question of what is a good win/loss ratio only becomes meaningful when the plan behind each trade is consistent. I am learning that the ratio is a reflection of the clarity of my thesis for each trade rather than an external target.
How does this approach help in improving my Forex win loss ratio?
By treating each trade individually and letting the thesis define both exits and entries, I reduce randomness in my decisions. The focus becomes structure, not emotion.
How to find Forex Trading Courses Online?
For me, education came from exploring different schools of thought, technical tools, and market concepts. Each piece of knowledge adds to the bank I draw from when shaping my plan.
Conclusion
This phase of my trading journey is teaching me how important it is to build a plan I am comfortable with, one that evolves with experience. The thesis approach gives me structure, clarity, and a way to refine my decisions. As I continue applying it, I expect the plan to change, adapt, and improve just like any trader’s process should. This post is simply a record of that experience and a step toward understanding my own method more deeply.
