And you divide the profit per month by the maximum drawdown and get a normalised criterion for all cases.

Recovery factor

[ProstoTak]

Urain:

PS GROSS NET account differs from each other only in the withdrawal of funds from the account

GROSS account differs from NET account drastically.

The difference is in the methodology of closing orders, in the accounting of opening prices, in the possibility of having opposite orders (Gross) and the lack of such possibility (Net).

Olegts:
Recovery factor

"The recovery factor is calculated as the ratio of the absolute profit to the maximum drawdown.

The recovery factor is not suitable for comparing signals because it is not standardized in time.

Recovery factor is not suitable for comparing signals because it is not standardized in terms of time.

Do you want it calculated per day, month or hour?

[Andrei01]

trora:
and do you want it calculated per day, month or hour?

it doesn't matter, as long as everyone is rationed the same... in the signals it is accepted to be calculated by months.

[valeriy odintsov]

Andrei01:
it doesn't matter, as long as everyone is rationed the same... The alarms have adopted a month-by-month calculation.

Lyuk:

Will the future versions of MT5 include the possibility of opening counter positions (locking) ? Or is one "average" position for an instrument made on purpose (to increase profits of forex brokers or for other reasons) and will not be changed in the future. This drawback outweighs all the advantages that MT5 has in comparison with MT4, because it prevents the application of many trading strategies and leads to losses where MT4 made a profit. Why did they do it this way and not leave it as it was?

There are MT5 Dealing Desk

which provide a service with a lock on MT5

open two instruments in one account

EURUSD.M1 - here we sell

EURUSD.M2 - here we buy

and there is no problem for lovers of LOCK

YuraZ:

There are MT5 DILINES

which provide the service with a lock on MT5

there are two instruments open in one account at once

EURUSD.M1 - sell here

EURUSD.M2 - buy here

and there is no problem for lovers of LOCA

Yura, there is a better way. You can implement an order panel similar to the MetaTrader4 terminal directly into MetaTrader5 and trade lots directly from it.

:-), Vasily ...

no way will help if you don't have the technical capability

no way will help if there is no technical possibility

Yuri, I must be out of the loop because I don't know about any such"technical capability". What the hell is a "technical capability"? - Probably it means the possibility for a broker offering doubling instruments to debit clients' accounts with additional commissions in the form of negative swaps? Yes, it is indeed a great technical feature for brokers, but why do clients need it?
