# Using Metrics Together for a Full Picture

No single metric tells the whole story. Use them in combination:

**Example A:**

- Win Rate: 70%
- Profit Factor: 1.2
- Avg Profit: 20 USDT
- Avg Loss: 80 USDT

**Problem:** Despite high win rate, losses are 4x bigger than wins.\
→ Need to cut losses or let profits run.

**Example B:**

- Win Rate: 45%
- Profit Factor: 2.3
- Avg Profit: 100 USDT
- Avg Loss: 30 USDT

**Conclusion:** Excellent system. → More than half the trades lose, but winners easily outweigh the losers.
