It’s possible when you want to optimize some variables (as from pic X), where you can choose your preference from a drop-down menu.

In any case you can select, from the Dashboard drop-down menu (pic Y), the statistics to read plenty of data available.

Thanks. I am very familiar with the backtesting function. I wish there were an option to sort the results by profit factor from the dropdown menu, while it does apear on the dashboard. if you have over 1000 results its nearly impossibel to chek each one manually…

I must assume you mean optimise results (not backtest results as you state above, backtest gives only 1 result?)?
When optimising, there is a column named Gain which can be sorted … so what is the problem you are experiencing?
I must be not understanding what you are saying?

To calculate the “profit factor,” you need to know both the total profit and the total loss…

(total loss is not calculated during the optimization)

that makes sense… but in my point of view, a system with 10% profit in a year with a profit factor 2 is much stable compered to a system has 15% profit but only having a profit factor of 1.2.

so the profit factor should be considered a key component in optimization process.
