Head to head
ChiropteravsOne Man Army
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.
Chiroptera 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.

Why these two are not quite like-for-like
- The two are measured from different sources — Chiroptera from trade history, One Man Army from published statistics. The ratios are computed the same way, but only a trade-by-trade history supports the full set of risk checks.
- The tracked accounts are 4× 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 (EUR and USD), so every currency amount below is in its own unit. The ratios are unaffected.
