Head to head

EA Legendary Scalper MT5vsQuantum Athena X

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.

Quantum Athena X 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

One record is 2.8× longer than the other — Quantum Athena X has had more time to meet a market it dislikes, which cuts both ways when reading its drawdown.
Both cover XAUUSD, but EA Legendary Scalper MT5 also trades BTCUSD, ETHUSD. Its figures are a blend across those instruments rather than a result on XAUUSD alone.
