System Performance Statistics & Evaluation

Quote from rcanfiel:

These cannot be answered. Everyone has their own parameters.

It is like asking "what flavor of ice cream do you like?" You are going to get 30+ answers.

Exactly. One of my systems has 4 losers/1 winner but is extremely profitable as the winners are, on average, 11 times larger than the losers. That's on full auto. If I deploy it using discretionary measure it's 2/1.
 
Quote from rickty:


Do you have a reference for the formulas you provide above. I'd like to look into this a bit more.
I have attached the most accessible pdf covering
these formulas.

I have no idea what the ET limit on pdf attachments is,
so PM me if you want more papers on the subject.

FWIW, I don't think any single ratio can fully characterize
risk vs. reward for a given model/system or trader.
