POLL : What's your Profit Factor ?

[fluttrader]

I need 100 votes

I think those 19 votes with +4 PF are outliers.

Nice idea for a poll !
But I believe there are too many possible choices for the answer and that there should have been 5-6 tiers max (0-1; 1-2;2-3 etc)
This way we won't get a clear picture.

The numbers could be reality on a small sample size but I doubt that a profit factor over 4 is possible on a sample of +1000 trades.

Profit Factor is the total profit divided by the total loss. According to the poll, 100% of the ET traders are profitable.

Wow... I must really suck. Managed to achieve 1.56 over the last 11 months.

I should get back to equity trading. 2007 scored 3.7 in that portfolio.
