Which balance curve is better?
Both curves on the 1999-2010 section. M30 on bars. On m1 all ticks will be the same chart.
The first curve seems preferable as it fluctuates around a perfect straight line (red). HOWEVER, there is an idea. What if the second curve also fluctuates around an ideal straight line, but not over a period of several years, but over a much longer period? Especially since the curve (in the second figure) returns to the red line not by leaps, but by a sideways movement. Moreover, it is almost a perfect straight line in the growth periods, while in the first figure it is a very broken curve.
So the question is. Which is better? What are the criteria?

Recovery Factor.
Thank you for your reply! What do you say on the curves which one you think is best.
By the way. The second curve and this one are among the highest FS values for this EA.

None. You have to look at the equity curve.

The same EA, with different parameters, produces different curves. Two questions in this regard.
1. I can't decide which one is better.
2. Which balance curve is ideal in REAL EA.
