Head to head

PolyGold ScalpervsTwisterPro Scalper

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.

PolyGold Scalper leads on 2 of the 2 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 — TwisterPro Scalper has had more time to meet a market it dislikes, which cuts both ways when reading its drawdown.
The tracked accounts are 15× apart in size. Percentage growth compounds much faster on a small balance, so the growth figures are not the like-for-like they look.
The accounts are denominated differently (THB and USD), so every currency amount below is in its own unit. The ratios are unaffected.
