Head to head
Cortex IDXvsNeo Delta
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.
Cortex IDX 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 — Cortex IDX from published statistics, Neo Delta from trade history. The ratios are computed the same way, but only a trade-by-trade history supports the full set of risk checks.
- One record is 8.8× longer than the other — Cortex IDX has had more time to meet a market it dislikes, which cuts both ways when reading its drawdown.
- They trade different instruments — US30 against XAUUSD — so the two records were made in different markets.
