Normalized Profit Factor

StrategyQuantPlugins

Normalized profit factor that scales to -1 to 1 for clearer trading performance analysis. Works reliably even with zero profits or losses while considering both magnitude and direction of returns.

Here my first share.

Seen it and coded from the article here :
mastering-the-art-of-trading-metrics-an-interview-with-bozhidar-bozhkov-on-normalised-profit-factor

Summary :

1. It works even when profits or losses are zero.
2. It gives a result between -1 and 1, which is easier to interpret.
3. It takes into account both the magnitude and direction of profits and losses.

Ps : Let me know if there are any mistakes

Note – there is an updated version for SQX Build 140 and above (update done by SQX team)
