"Records more winning trades than losing ones"

 On it's own this is not a valid measure of a Strategy,  a very profitable Strategy can have a win rate of 10% and conversely and losing Strategy could have a win rate of 90%

  

"Records more losing trades than winning ones but profits equally overall"

 As long as the risk and draw down are controlled this if good.


"Trades at least 5 times daily"

The number of trades needed depends on the Win Rate,  for a low win rate more trades are needed, for a high win rate fewer trades are needed to achieve the same return.



"Trades 5 times a month but is equally profitable"

See above . . .


"Makes very high profit with high risk of margin call"

There should never ever be a risk of a margin call,  if there is the Money management and position sizing  is flawed. 


"Makes small profits with very low risk of margin call"

See above . . . 

 

 
If i could vote i would select all of the above except "Makes very high profit with high risk of margin call"

Do yourself a favour and think/learn about the relationship between Win Rate and Risk:Reward for a "coin toss" type strategy.

Just like you I don't have a winning strategy yet so the competition would be who loses the least . . .  I'm not interested in losing money.
 
Dont yap if you cant and this is what i was talking about, moderators acting like pro traders arguing all over due to moderator powers while they cant show their trading.
