💡 Why Use This Profit Factor Calculator?

Win rate alone is a vanity metric - a system with 80% wins but tiny wins and massive losses loses money. Profit Factor (gross wins ÷ gross losses) reveals whether your strategy has a true edge. A PF above 1.5 is considered robust; above 2.0 is excellent.

⚡

Pro Tip: Run this calculator across different market conditions (trending vs ranging) - a system with PF 2.0 in trends but 0.8 in ranges needs a market filter to be deployed.
