86% win rate over a week of replay. It's the most dangerous stat I've ever had.

Reddit R/DayTrading | negative | Published: 08:59 Oct 12, 2026 (Eastern)

A Reddit user shares the results of practicing bar-by-bar replay trading on historical DOGE perp data with a $10,000 simulation account, achieving an 86% win rate over a week resulting in a 17% overall gain. Despite 25 wins and 4 losses, the breakdown revealed a dangerous risk profile involving zero stop-losses, 40-50x leverage, an average loss significantly outweighing the average win, and multiple liquidations that were offset by a lucky revenge trade. The trader concludes that a high win rate without stop-losses is a blowup risk and outlines plans to implement strict stop-losses, cap leverage at 10x, and halt trading sessions after liquidations or consecutive losses.
