I presume the figures listed are after
commissions and by MM you mean Mark-to-market losses or drawdowns
as they are popularly known. I think its obvious that
system c has the best post commission figures. A higher profit /day figure is
preferable over a higher profit/trade figure. 

 

However you should also rank for maximum
and average drawdowns as this determines <span
class=GramE>the  robustness
of a system, not to mention your own comfort levels.

<span

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: 

<span
>%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 

<span
>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?
