It has relevance to the topic: The starter of this topic also wonders why people mention their point results because only when you use percentage you can see how well somebody is trading. I would go further: the result of any individual trade doesn't matter at all. What matters is how much...

Yes you are right, trader A made 12.5% and trader B made 5%. The last part of your post makes less sense because money management includes taking into considiration your total equity. When your total equity is 5K it it is madness to trade futures in the first place.

In the above statement the profit is not 5% in the first example or 10% in the second. Because the margin you have to put up is not your total equity I assume. You trading results can only be given by a percentage of your total equity. In that way you can see how somebodey uses MM in a clever way.

I think only the result as a percentage of total equity is interesting to know. Other numbers don't tell you much.
