Tip
When looking at backtest data, the dollar-amount profit and dollar-amount drawdown are less important than other metrics, as the raw-dollar amount profit and raw-dollar amount drawdown are highly specific to the trader’s balance. Instead, it’s more important to evaluate percentage metrics and ratio metrics, such as the profit percentage, profit factor, and drawdown percentage - these metrics are relatively consistent across various balances. Additionally, risk-performance metrics such as the Sharpe Ratio are good indications of a strategy’s viability.
