Profit Factor
This is the sum of all the wins divided by the sum of all the losses. The higher the Profit Factor is, the better. A Profit Factor less than 1 means that the robot is loss-making! Please note that the Profit Factor is based upon closed trades, and won't reflect the effect of any open trades.
Monthly Return
This is the projected average linear monthly percentage return on initial investment. It does not allow for any compounding effects and is based upon the account equity which includes for the effect of any open trades.
Risk Factor
Also known as risk-reward ratio, the Risk Factor is the monetary amount of the average losing trade divided by the amount of the average winning trade. Robots with high risk-reward ratios might not experience many losing trades but, when losses occur, they often wipe out weeks or months of gains.
RDD
This statistic represents the percentage amount of the account that was lost during the worst lean spell. The lower the drawdown is, the better. Note that drawdown calculations are based on closed trades and do not reflect the possible current drawdown of any open trades.
Monthly Pips
The average number of pips won or lost in month which updates constantly to include any open trades which won't always be clear in a conventional MetaTrader report. Robots can win in monetary terms, but may be loss making in terms of pips. These robots often use a form of gambling such as Martingale to recover losses.
Safety Factor
The Safety Factor is a unique algorithm which weights results to compensate for the imbalances of robots which haven't been in test for very long or which haven't made many trades. A negative Safety Factor means that the EA is loss making. Safety Factors only appear once EAs have been in test for two or more weeks.
