Pick two, and see the same arithmetic on both

Putting two records side by side is easy to do badly. Total growth is the trap: one product shows 83% and another 298%, and the second looks nearly four times better until you notice the first earned its figure in a quarter of the time. Compounded to a monthly rate, the order reverses. So only the measures that survive that test are scored here — the rest are shown underneath, unscored, and the reasons a pair is not like-for-like are spelled out.

Choosing a pair needs JavaScript. The comparison below is a worked example, and the head-to-head pages linked from it are plain pages that work without it.

Cepheus leads on 5 of the 5 measures that can be scored.

A count of rows, not a recommendation. Which of these measures matters is a question about the account it would run on.

Profit factorEverything won divided by everything lost: 5.66▲; 5.08
Payoff ratioAverage win divided by average loss: 0.81▲; 0.27
Max drawdownDeepest fall from a previous high: 4.0%▲; 16.7%
Recovery factorNet profit per unit of worst fall: 6.98▲; 2.73
Growth per monthTotal growth compounded to a monthly rate: 79.02%▲; 22.80%
Win rateNot scored — a high win rate is only good if the payoff supports it: 87.5%; 95.0%
Record lengthHow much evidence there is: 1 months; 4 months
TradesSample size behind every figure above: 16; 121
Total growthNot comparable on its own — the records cover different spans: 41.1%; 103.2%
Account sizePercentages compound faster on a small balance: CAD 100; $500

Why these two are not quite like-for-like

The two are measured from different sources — Cepheus from trade history, Cortex IDX from published statistics. The ratios are computed the same way, but only a trade-by-trade history supports the full set of risk checks.
One record is 5.8× longer than the other — Cortex IDX has had more time to meet a market it dislikes, which cuts both ways when reading its drawdown.
The tracked accounts are 5× apart in size. Percentage growth compounds much faster on a small balance, so the growth figures are not the like-for-like they look.
The accounts are denominated differently (CAD and USD), so every currency amount below is in its own unit. The ratios are unaffected.
They trade different instruments — XAUUSD against US30 — so the two records were made in different markets.
