Head to head
Ghost Scalper MT5vsSmart Gold Hunter
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 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 — Ghost Scalper MT5 from trade history, Smart Gold Hunter from published statistics. The ratios are computed the same way, but only a trade-by-trade history supports the full set of risk checks.
- One record is 10.7× longer than the other — Smart Gold Hunter 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.
