Understanding Sharpe? Help pls.

 

Hello, i have developed a couple of what I call very good EAs.    

I back tested on 3 years and 2 years, I have a Sharpe of 7+ and 4+, but my recovery is garbage..  .50. Or so ..


Is recovery a factor for most of the traders here?    Ig I figgure it would be in correlation to thrrespective gains in profit ? 

 
There is small thread about Sharpe ratio with the links to two articles: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/192964
