75% Win Rate & 4.0 Profit Factor Secures a $4,000 Payout
In this edition of Leveraged Success Stories, we analyze a trader who achieved what many consider mathematically impossible in the long run: maintaining a high win rate while ensuring their average winner was larger than their average loser. Trading on a $100,000 Funded Turbo account, this trader executed a masterclass in probability. By December 2, they had secured a $4,000 profit share payout, with their equity curve peaking at $106,723 during the trading period. While many traders scrape by with a small edge, this trader crushed the markets with a Profit Factor of 4.04. Here is how they did it.
75% WIN RATE, 4.0 PF
The NAS100 specialist who broke the “risk-reward compromise.” 75.81% win rate with positive risk-reward ratio. Nearly perfect November: 14 green days out of 15, securing a $4,000 payout with surgical precision.

01 // THE SMOOTH ASCENT
Nov 10 to Dec 2: A textbook equity curve with minimal drawdown. No wild swings, no panic—just steady, controlled growth from $100,000 to peak of $106,723. After discovering NAS100 on Nov 13, performance skyrocketed.
02 // NAS100 SPECIALIST
After early struggles with minor FX pairs, trader pivoted to NAS100 on Nov 13. Result: 68% of trades and 60% of profit from NAS100. EURUSD provided secondary edge with 77.78% win rate.
03 // 14 GREEN DAYS
Nearly perfect November: Only 1 losing day (-$13.84 on Nov 26, essentially breakeven). Every week ended profitable. This consistency separates elite traders from the rest.
04 // BREAKING THE COMPROMISE
Most traders face a trade-off: high win rate with negative R:R, or low win rate with positive R:R. This trader achieved both: 75.81% win rate AND average wins ($219) larger than average losses ($169). The mathematical “Holy Grail.”
- 3 Wins Per 4 Trades
- Winners Larger Than Losers
- 4.04 Profit Factor
05 // TOP PERFORMERS
Best single trade: $715 on EURUSD (4h22m hold). NAS100 dominated frequency with tight scalps. Gold contributed $288 in 5 minutes. All top trades came during high-liquidity sessions.
06 // THE LOSERS
NZDUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY: 0% win rate, combined -$680 loss. After Nov 12, trader eliminated these distractions and focused exclusively on NAS100 and EURUSD. Result: profitability skyrocketed.
The Journey: A Smooth Ascent
The Equity Curve from November 10 to December 2 is a testament to consistency. Unlike “grinders” who fight for every inch, or “gamblers” who rely on lucky spikes, this chart shows a steady, controlled ascension. There is almost no drag on the account. The curve moves from left to right with a clear upward trajectory, driven by a dominant performance on NAS100 (Nasdaq).
Visualizing Consistency: Inside the Trading Calendar
The most impressive aspect of this trader’s performance isn’t just the final number – it’s the daily consistency. Our Dashboard Calendar reveals a nearly perfect run. This trader demonstrated an almost perfect record: out of the 15 active trading days shown in November, the trader posted 14 Green Days. The only losing day was November 26, and the loss was a microscopic -$13.84. This effectively counts as a breakeven day. Most traders spiral after a loss; this trader simply stopped trading, preserving their capital. The trader achieved complete weekly dominance, with every single week ending in profit (Week 1: +$1,883.88; Week 2: +$3,305.29; Week 3: +$1,534.50).
While Monday (Nov 24) was the most profitable single day at $815, the profits were evenly distributed across the week. Whether it was Tuesday ($704), Thursday ($656), or Friday ($750), the strategy worked in all market conditions.
The Mathematics: Breaking the “Risk-Reward” Compromise
Usually, trading involves a trade-off; this trader broke the rule.:
- High Win Rate usually means Low Risk-Reward (small wins, big losses).
- High Risk-Reward usually means Low Win Rate (many small losses, few big wins).
- Win Rate: 75.81%
- Profit Factor: 4.04
- Average Win: $218.61
- Average Loss: -$169.41
The Edge: They won 3 out of every 4 trades. But crucially, their average win was larger than their average loss. When you combine a 75% strike rate with a Positive Risk-Reward ratio, the math becomes unbeatable. This “Holy Grail” statistical profile allows for rapid account growth with minimal drawdown.
Asset Choice: Finding a Home in the Nasdaq
This trader primarily focuses on NAS100 (Nasdaq 100 Index), with a secondary, highly effective interest in EURUSD. They also dabble in other Forex pairs and Gold. Unlike the 73% Win Rate Gold Scalper we recently profiled who specialized entirely in XAUUSD, this trader found a middle ground. The total instrument traded is 7: NAS100, EURUSD, XAUUSD (Gold), USDJPY, NZDUSD, AUDUSD, GBPJPY. The best performing instruments where NAS100 which accounted for the highest total PnL ($2,688.08) and highest trade frequency. His bread and butter. He also demonstrates that is a good Forex trader if he focuses on the major currency pairs like EUR/USD – exceptional win rate (77.78%) and very strong PnL contribution ($1,596.00) for fewer trades, demonstrating high efficiency. These two instruments account for over 96% of the positive PnL and 85% of all trades.
On the flip side, NZDUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY where his worst performing trading instruments. These three pairs had a 0% win rate in the sample, resulting in combined losses of over $680. They were consistently losing instruments for this trader.
A review of the trading history reveals an evolution in this trader’s trading strategy.
- Early Phase (Nov 10-12): The trader dabbled in Forex pairs like USDJPY, EURUSD, and NZDUSD. Results were mixed, with some losses (e.g., -$236 on USDJPY), while struggling with some minor FX pairs.
- The Pivot (Nov 13 onwards): The trader switched almost exclusively to NAS100 (US Tech 100).
- The Result: Once they locked into the volatility of the Nasdaq, their performance skyrocketed. They stopped trading “noise” and started trading “momentum.”
| Instrument | Activity Level | Total PnL | Win Rate (Est.) | Avg Win | Avg Loss | Total Trades | PnL Contribution |
| NAS100 | Very High | $2,688.08 | 0.6667 | 394.19 | -286.48 | 36 | 0.6026 |
| EURUSD | Moderate | $1,596 | 0.7778 | 251.29 | -54.33 | 9 | 0.3578 |

Trading Strategy: Dynamic Intraday Trading with Scalping Elements
This trader employs a hybrid approach, primarily acting as an Intraday Trader on NAS100 and EURUSD, but also incorporating scalping trading strategies for quick entries and exits, especially on NAS100. This precision contrasts with the High-Frequency “Casino” approach we analyzed recently, where volume made up for a lower profit factor. Here, the trader used fewer trades but with much higher accuracy. The scalping trading strategy and positive PnL on NAS100 (a highly volatile instrument) strongly suggest the trader is adept at identifying and capitalizing on short-term momentum or breakouts around significant price levels, often using tight stops for quick cuts. The trader executes both long and short positions, reacting to current market conditions rather than holding a fixed directional view.
Case Study: The “Bad Day” Recovery (November 17)
Every trader has a moment where they stumble. For this trader, it was November 17. However, their reaction to the loss defines their success, and this resilience is a common thread among our best trader success stories. The Error: At 12:10 PM, the trader bought NAS100 (Ticket #1692919). They held the position for over 2 hours, fighting the trend.
- Result: A massive loss of -$1,591.50. This single trade was nearly 10x their average loss. For most traders, this causes “tilt” and leads to a blown account.
The Recovery: Instead of panic-trading, the trader reset. They realized the market bias had shifted. Over the next few hours (from 14:30 to 16:30), they executed a flurry of high-precision trades on NAS100 – both Long and Short – adapting to the immediate price action.
- Ticket #1694504: +$645.00
- Ticket #1697807: +$572.20
- Ticket #1697809: +$561.30
- Ticket #1694688: + $612.60
By the end of the session, they had completely erased the $1,500 loss and finished the day in profit. This is the definition of resilience.
The “Worst” Trade: Analyzing the outlier
The trading history highlights a “Worst Trade” of -$1,591.50.
- Ticket: #1692919
- Asset: NAS100 (Buy)
- Duration: 2h 17m
The Lesson: The trader’s average trade duration is usually under 30 minutes. On this specific loss, they held for 2 hours and 17 minutes. This “style drift” – holding a loser hoping it comes back – was the only crack in their armor. Once they cut it, they returned to their successful short-term scalping strategy and immediately recovered.
The Trap (Trusting Friday’s Price Action):
Heading into Monday, Nasdaq had been trading down from its All-Time Highs for two weeks. However, the previous Friday closed with a massive Pin Bar candle featuring a long downside wick. The trader likely read this as a strong reversal signal. But as the old saying goes: “Never trust Friday’s price action.” On Monday, the market rolled over, ignoring the pin bar.
The trader entered this Long position 1 hour before regular NY trading hours and well before the main Futures Open liquidity kicked in. They attempted to buy an intraday pullback in the pre-market thin liquidity. Instead of bouncing, the market sold off relentlessly. The trader was stopped out right at the opening bell. Much like the Profit Factor 4.05 trader who mixed Gold and Bitcoin, this trader learned that timing is everything.
The Lesson: The “real moves” happen at the Open. Had the trader waited for the liquidity injection of the New York session, they would have seen the bearish momentum and avoided this trade entirely.
What Traders Can Learn
- Find Your Asset: This trader was mediocre at trading Forex minor currency pairs but elite at US stock indices. If you are struggling, try changing your instrument. You might just be trading the wrong market for your personality.
- High Win Rate + Positive RRR is Possible: Don’t settle for “small wins, big losses.” By being selective with entries, you can maintain a high strike rate without sacrificing your risk-to-reward ratio.
- One Loss Doesn’t Define You: The $1,591 loss on Nov 17 could have been the end. Instead, the trader accepted the hit, adjusted their bias, and traded their way out of the hole the same afternoon.
- Respect Market Hours: The biggest loss came from trading pre-market noise. The biggest wins came during the New York session. Trade when the volume is there to support your setup.
- Identify Your Strengths: To replicate these trader success stories, you must identify where your edge lies. The trader consistently lost money on NZDUSD, USDJPY, and GBPJPY. Focusing solely on NAS100, EURUSD, and potentially AUDUSD would likely improve overall profitability and reduce drawdown volatility.
