the current sharpe ratio is not of much use since its not very usefull for comparisons.. which is the whole idea of the ratio

it needs to be annualized so that returns can be compared accross different strategies easier

i.e. daily timeframe you need to adjust (sharpe ratio) x sqrt(250)

minute timeframe need to adjust (sharpe ratio) x sqrt(250*11*60)

and so on..

then we should see numbers between 1-2> if the strategies are good i.e.

I think the Sharp is not OK. With profitable strategies that have a lot of losing position, will never be high, despite the very good or excellent also gain.
Only your proposal is such that when my current Sharp 0.18 for 1 minute timeframe after conversion will come out ~ 73!

I'm lazy.
