Profit factor for professional equity traders?

[smilingsynic]

At your firm, what would be considered an outstanding profit factor?

I am defining "profit factor" as total $ in wins/total # in losses. 600K in wins and 400 in losses would equal a 1.5 (as well as 200K in profit).

Many thanks!

I trade retail, so not at a "firm" but anyway:

In simulation i want PF > 1.5, and I'm happy if i can keep it above 1.3 in live trading.

These numbers are based on net, not gross.

How much difference when calculating based on gross ?
