I think this may be key analysis to rate trading performance.
If you can show sort of chart with number of pips on Y [vertical] axis and time of holding on X [horisontal] axis.
Use of such statistics would be to see if given trader holds his 'scalps' for few hours or days to get 5 pips profit or if one cuts his losses quickly.
It would be good to see scalps held only for 5-20 minutes or only 50+ pips positions held for few hours or days [with occasional stops at BE here or there].
Please rate :)

Sounds like an interesting statistic - thanks for the suggestion!
Excellent suggestion for transparency
11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.

Another factor is the pip win to draw-down ratio. If you made 20 pips , your drawdown should be no more than 20 pips. Express this as a ratio and plot on a graph to quantify risk reward ratio. Having a 200 pip draw down isn't same as 20 . But it should take percentage of equity into account with some scaling factor. having a 200 pip draw down with one micro lot isn't the same as 1 standard lot.
Hmm, it makes my system look worse than it is. I'm trading the all-history grid and in this case, it's expexted to have orders open for a very long time and huge DD even though it (in theory) comes back in the end for a 'small' profit. The trading gridlines and orderlotsizes is based on the full range and Equity, and there's no problem having prolonged drawdown. The danger is, when the currencies move beyond their historical boundaries, like the EURCHF, CHFJPY and the USDJPY, but my strategy involves diversification to make profits anyway, along with the widening of gridlineseparation with lower Equity, and using filter to only trade when the trend moves towards the middle for reducing DD.
I know some of you in here doesn't think there's any real profitability or 'trading' in this kind of strategy, but so far it works for me.
Until now, it seems Equity% is floating somewhere between 50 and 80, and that's fine by me, as long as the strategy pulls the 6% a month after a 'order build up' period.
If the graph is showing the gain in % versus the Risk in % and an average holdingtime for the symbol combined with magicnumber I think its alright, otherwise, I'll have to say no.
So far I'm neutral...

I think in both cases 200 pips in microlots vs. 20 pips in regular lots as well as in case of 'wide range strategy' you still have room to fill 'system description' space. I think if someone is examining system will certainly read creator's description.
I think this stat will filter out scammers that says they are scalpers, but in fact are holding trades for hours just for few pips profit.
Bare in mind that it's just another idea for sorting data [now I do this sort of research myself anyway].

We must create some sort of python script that downloads the .csv file from myfxbook.com and automatically generates graphs and all sorts of data. Opensource it on google code , we will rapidly be able to zero down on the three two or even one account that is generating profits with acceptable risk .

I think this powerful tool is called excel spreadsheet ;)
Combined with copy and paste buttons can make miracles.

Another idea is to merge the length of time held factor with the pips gain : draw-down factor , if a position remains in draw down for to long and subsequently rallies, any such rally would be more due to random luck then market insight. See
https://www.myfxbook.com/community/suggestion-box/add-column-for-draw-down/52604,1
1) The length a losing position was held must be factored. If a losing position takes to long to rally then the 'random luck' factor increases. Each trade is assigned a 'random luck' factor weighted for equity used, meaning a standard lot will have more impact on this factor than a micro lot. The overall account is assigned this averaged out 'random luck' factor.
2) Length a winning position was held expressed as single number weighted for all trades. Holding a micro lot for one year on an equity of $10000 should have a very small impact.
The time it took for a trade to rally and the draw down incurred must be combined and rolled into a single number to quantify the account and differentiate it from gambling as opposed to market insight.
Trading periods should also be tagged as either being in a trend, counter trend or break-out. This is done to differentiate accounts that traded in the direction of the trend only , but not yet in a counter trend. A trader must be able to trade a ranging and trending market.

Stephanus are you sure your proposals fit this topic?
I am sure your ideas are great for some data analisys, but I personally don't ind them fitting into two dimension chart, where one dimension is a time and other is a profit.
It's obvious that not a single trader will obtain correlation close to 1.
In my opinion the main use of such statistic is separation scalpers from swings, long terms and 'scamer-scalpers'.
