Profit Factor

The ratio between gross profits and gross losses is the profit factor. If you have a process that has accumulated 500 in profits and 250 in losses, the profit factor is two.

A profit factor is higher than 1.75 is usually a very good number for a trader with a healthy growth on your equity curve.

Profit Factor below 1.0 means that the trading system is loss-making.
Profit Factor within 1.0-1.5 means that the trading system is relatively profitable.
Profit Factor within 1.5-2.0 means that the trading system is highly profitable.
Profit Factor above 2.0 means that the trading system is extremely profitable.

Expectancy

The expectancy helps you to determine the expected profit or loss of a single trade after taking into consideration all of your past trades. With this, you are always looking for a positive expectancy to show that your overall trading is profitable.

Positive Expectancy

A trader who wins 4/10 trades with an average profit of $500 and average loss of $120.

The trading expectancy calculation is:

• 0.4 is 40% Win Rate
• $500 is the average win
• 0.6 is 60% Loss Rate. The average win and loss percentage must add up to 100
• $150 is the average loss

The trader's expectancy is positive. Over 10 trades, the profit is $1,280 (10 x $128), while the loss is $720 (10 x $72).

(0.4 x $500) – (0.6 x $120) = $200 – $72 = $128

Negative Expectancy

For many new traders, the result is more complicated. Typically, new traders make smaller gains and larger losses. This reflects in a negative score that reveals the true scale of losses even when the stats show a trader seems to be a winner. This time, the trader wins 70 per cent of the time with a profit of $125, but the losses average $500.

The trade expectancy calculation is:

(0.7 x $125) – (0.3 x $500) = 87.5 – 150 = -62.5

This time, the negative result shows the trader is losing money and the higher the number, the bigger the loss.

The formula confirms the trader gains $875, winning seven out of ten trades, but the loss from the remaining three trades is $1,500, leaving the trader $625 in the red. The takeaway is that a trader can have a great win tally, but the losses can still mount if the profits are low.

The equity curve shows the overall health of your account. You should always monitor for big swings in your equity curve and maintain a steady growth. If big swings occur, this could mean an inconsistent execution in your process.

The Green vs Red Days is a overall view of your daily P/L performance. It is important to focus on achieving more green days than red days and less on your P/L to protect your mental capital and improve your consistency in the long term.

This metric shows your average profit and loss in amount and percentage of all your trades during a specific period (Lifetime, weekly, monthly, and yearly).

You should always target an average profit is greater than you average loss in order to stay consistently profitable. The smaller the average loss is compared to the average profit, indicates that you have a well-managed risk and a good risk-to-reward ratio.
