Head to head
Ghost Scalper MT5vsLizard
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.
Ghost Scalper MT5 leads on 4 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 6.2× longer than the other — Lizard has had more time to meet a market it dislikes, which cuts both ways when reading its drawdown.
- The accounts are denominated differently (EUR and USD), so every currency amount below is in its own unit. The ratios are unaffected.
