Head to head
Almanac GoldvsDrifter EA
Both sets of figures are computed the same way from each product's own record. The measures that can be read against each other — the unit-free ratios — are scored. The ones that depend on how big the account was or how long it ran are shown underneath, unscored, because putting a winner on them would be comparing two different questions.
Drifter EA leads on 3 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
- 2.76▲
- 3.50▲
- Payoff ratioAverage win divided by average loss
- 1.14▲
- 1.03▲
- Max drawdownDeepest fall from a previous high
- 0.5%▲
- 2.6%▲
- Recovery factorNet profit per unit of worst fall
- 5.40▲
- 5.93▲
- Growth per monthTotal growth compounded to a monthly rate
- 2.53%▲
- 81.91%▲
- Win rateNot scored — a high win rate is only good if the payoff supports it
- 70.7%▲
- 77.3%▲
- Record lengthHow much evidence there is
- 1 months▲
- 1 months▲
- TradesSample size behind every figure above
- 99▲
- 88▲
- Total growthNot comparable on its own — the records cover different spans
- 3.0%▲
- 83.9%▲
- Account sizePercentages compound faster on a small balance
- $100,000▲
- $20▲
Why these two are not quite like-for-like
- The tracked accounts are 5000× apart in size. Percentage growth compounds much faster on a small balance, so the growth figures are not the like-for-like they look.
