Performance Reporting Key

Profit Factor
The ratio of gross profit (sum of profits from winning trades) to gross loss (absolute sum of losses from losing trades). It indicates the profitability of the trading strategy.

Profit Factor is a key trading metric that ranks the profitability of a strategy from excellent to poor. An excellent Profit Factor (>2.0) indicates that for every dollar lost, more than two dollars are earned, showcasing a very profitable strategy. A good Profit Factor (1.5-2.0) signifies earning between 1.5 and 2 dollars for every dollar lost, while an average Profit Factor (1.2-1.5) reflects reasonable profitability with earnings between 1.2 and 1.5 dollars per dollar lost. A below average Profit Factor (1.0-1.2) shows marginal profitability, needing improvement as it earns slightly more than a dollar per dollar lost. A poor Profit Factor (<1.0) indicates a losing strategy, with less than a dollar earned for every dollar lost, resulting in a net loss.
