EA Statistics is what we need to see when it comes to EA

#1: Profit Factor

The profit factor tells you straightaway whether the robot will make money or not. It is the most important statistic. It shows the relationship between risk and profit. However, any EA that is profitable but which risks all your money is not the right one to be chosen. Profit factor is calculated as the ratio between the sum of all the winning trades and the sum of all losing trades. In other words, it is the ratio of gross profit to gross loss. An EA with a profit factor of less than 1 should never be chosen. Choose a robot with as big a profit factor as possible.

#2: Expected Profit per Transaction

Also referred to as expectancy, this statistic indicates the amount of money that can be earned in a trade. This is based on historical data and is no guarantee for future performance of the EA. However, it is useful. Expected profit is calculated as the difference between average profit per trade and average loss per trade.

#3: Drawdown (maximum drawdown, average drawdown, and drawdown recovery)

Drawdown is a clear indicator of risk. It indicates the percentage of maximum loss recorded since the previous highest point. This indicates how much you can lose when the robot is in trouble. It is recommended to analyse drawdown with an equity curve chart. A rising curve indicates a profitable robot and an agitated curve a volatile one. A volatile robot is one with a higher drawdown and poses greater risk.

Maximum drawdown indicates maximum loss since the previous highest point. A 50% drawdown indicates that the robot lost 50% from its last highest value at some point in time. If you make use of this robot and invest USD 10,000, just prior to its drawdown, you could end up losing 50% of your capital.

The average drawdown is the average value of different EA drawdowns. If the EA had 3 drawdowns of values 12%, 10%, and 4%, then the average drawdown is (12+10+4)/3 = 8.7%. This figure gives an idea of the expected loss during a drawdown period. The maximum drawdown gives the worst case scenario.

Drawdown recovery gives an idea of the speed at which a trading system can emerge from a drawdown. Drawdown recovery can be expressed in the form of number of trades or the time required. Choosing an EA that can return to a positive value after a loss is advised. A less volatile robot returns back slowly and steadily unlike a riskier one.

#4: Risk to Reward Ratio

This factor is indicative of the risk appetite of the robot. As an example, a robot using a 5-pip take profit and a 40-pip stop loss has a risk-reward ratio of 8:1. The success rate in this case works out to 89% to make a profit. There are robots in the market with a risk-reward ratio of 15:1 (especially scalping robots). This does not, however, mean that the robot does not make money. If the success rate drops even by a small amount when risk-reward ratio is high, then the robot will lose.

In spite of all these factors, robots come with options that allow your risk to be managed by an adjustment of maximum SL and TP. The adjustment of these factors helps you to improve the risk-reward ratio of the EA. But before deploying these robots, it is essential to conduct a number of backtests prior to changing the settings. These are done to observe whether altering the settings will affect the strategy or not.
