How to read these numbers
- Setup
- One trade idea of the strategy: an entry with several equal trades, one for each target and one more that stays with the trend.
- Closed in profit
- A closed setup whose trades together ended above zero.
- Profit factor
- The total profit of the winning setups divided by the total loss of the losing setups. Above 1 means the profits were larger.
- Result of a setup
- The profit or loss on the whole capital of the setup, without leverage and before trading costs.
- Pullback
- The largest fall of the results curve from a high to the next low.
- R
- The risk of a trade: the distance from the entry to the stop. A result of 2R is twice that distance.
