Head to head
Hedgehog MT5 vs Scraper Gold
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.
Scraper Gold 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 1.6× longer than the other — Scraper Gold 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.
