Profit Factor is a financial metric often used to evaluate a trading system. It is calculated by dividing the gross profit from all winning trades of a system or strategy by the gross loss from all losing trades.
So, Profit Factor = Gross Profit / Gross Loss
This factor helps measure the overall performance and efficiency of a trading system or strategy.
A high profit factor indicates that the system or strategy is yielding more profit and is therefore more stable and reliable. On the other hand, a low profit factor might indicate that the system or strategy is low in profitability and could potentially be risky than one indicating a profitable system. 1.1 value of Profit Factor is acceptable for Traderlands.
