Head to head

Mavrik ScalpervsRange Breakout EA with Range Filters

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.

Mavrik Scalper 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.
