GEN: Profit/cost ratio

I'm a newbie, still learning and while reviewing the results from this
year I came across a statistic I haven't seen discussed here.

What type ratio between trade profits and costs (slippage, commissions,
fees, etc) should one consider favorable?

Basically I've been a short term position trader with more wins than losses,
more profits than losses (total & average) overall and in all but two
commodities.  

My ratio is about 2/1.  How does this compare with yours?

Comments?

Thanks in advance.
