I always look at the ratio between average monthly profit and max DD. For me the ratio has to be at least 1:1 otherwise I dont even look at the account. Accounts with the ratio of 2:1 or higher are rare, but can be found from time to time.
@jdsjioj
Do you have examples of myfxbook link where the ratio is 1:1 or 2:1 with a long account history?
Thanks.
I would be curious to see one, too...

$57.97 profit over almost 5 months and with 4% average profit per month...
Why keeping the lot sizes so low...? It is too risky otherwise?

It is strange
profit $57.97 on 3940.55 balance is just 1.5% not 20

I guess you mean the diff between Gain and Abs Gain.... unlike Gain = Time-Weighted return (per one invested dollar), Abs Gain is distorted by new deposits and shouldn't be used for measuring the performance...

My point was more like that deposit did probably not happen at the beginning but at later stage

Its because the starting balance was 500$. After that in October, we added about 3500$ and had some loosing trades in November. Thats why the profit absolute profit is shown as 1.5%. Correct gain is 21.23%.
@Nemefis
What really counts is the Average Monthly Profit : Max. Drawdown Ratio. It is the modified CALMAR RATIO.
If this ratio is above 1:1 the strategy qualifies for 'very good' in my books. Anything above 2:1 ratio is 'excellent' and strategies with ratios above 3:1 deserve to be called 'miracles'.
So your startegy is 'very good' based on this ratio (1.3 : 1 to be exact). My question: why keeping the lot sizes (and the absolute profits) so small with such a 'very good' strategy...?

Agree with this. For me personally, all other stats are irrelevant...

You have the same thinking as me, I also like systems that have an average monthly profit equal to or higher than the maximum drawdown. These systems are very rare, I have started a new thread to uncover these systems. Everyone is welcome to post other systems they come across that meet these very stric criteria. Hopefully this thread won't have many posts but the systems will be great ones. Here's the link for this new thread https://www.myfxbook.com/community/general/profitable-systems-monthly-return-higher/1323134,1
