Winning trades
The total count of all closed positions that resulted in a positive financial return.
Strict requirement: Only trades with a final profit greater than zero are counted.
Exclusions: This metric strictly excludes any trades that ended in a loss, as well as "even" or trades (where P&L is exactly 0). It also does not include currently open positions.
Strategic value: While a high number of winning trades is psychologically encouraging, it should always be viewed alongside average winning trade to ensure the strategy is truly effective.
