The figures were just given as an exercise, Ajay.  I get results in
proportion to those figures with 25 year backtesting.  But that's
not important.
Which is better, the #W/#L, the bigger %profit/trade, the bigger %profit/day.
Or what?

 Two things here:
1.What is the time frame over which u tested this?
Test the systems over a longer range and see if u get significantly
different results.
2.Are the trades automated?I mean are you trading with no manual
interference or do u take signals and then put order to the broker
urself using ur phone or using a mouse click?
Here if u are trading manually(as against automated) then number
of
trades would be a major factor.I like to have the least effort
with
max output :)

I've been thinking about this question and I can't
decide which is better.  The figures are for 1.00
Lots per trade with no MM.  I don't know which
would give better results with MM.  Here are some
sample figures for A, B and C:
%Profit          A)
48     B) 65    C) 80
#Trades         A) 12    
B) 18    C) 25
#W/#L          A)
1.87  B) 1.98  C) 2.79
%Prof/Trade A) 4.00  B) 3.51  C) 3.21
%Prof/Day    A) 1.49  B) 2.01  C) 2.50
What's more important in the long run? Making more
money per trading day (1 week=5days)?  Making more
money per trade with less trades?  The better W/L
ratio?  Something else?
