Quote from intradaybill:

Profit factor > 1 means net profit but nothing specific. Some kid with a $50 micro forex account can have a PF = 50 but net only $10 at the end of the year, so what? At the same time a hedge fund with a PF =1.1 can net $1 billion.
A pf of 50 on micro forex would be impressive. Note I said in the op that this was on a quarterly basis, which means trading more than just a few days average.
 
Quote from Dustin:

All that really matters imo is cps (cents per share).

profit/volume

eg. $1000/100000=.01

Anything over .02 for sustained time is really good.

is that net or gross?
