Nice idea for a poll ! But I believe there are too many possible choices for the answer and that there should have been 5-6 tiers max (0-1; 1-2;2-3 etc) This way we won't get a clear picture.
The numbers could be reality on a small sample size but I doubt that a profit factor over 4 is possible on a sample of +1000 trades.
what is profit factor? i am going to take a stab in the dark and guess it is just up efficiency over down efficiency times winning %?
Profit Factor is the total profit divided by the total loss. According to the poll, 100% of the ET traders are profitable.
Wow... I must really suck. Managed to achieve 1.56 over the last 11 months. I should get back to equity trading. 2007 scored 3.7 in that portfolio.
