I’m seeing a profit factor of 127.9 trading gold over the past two weeks. That means the strategy earns $127.90 for every $1 lost. So far, it hasn’t lost a trade — the only losses showing are due to slippage. Backtesting also looks very strong.


Obviously, this is unlikely to be sustainable long-term, but it’s still quite impressive. I’m curious — what kind of profit factors are others achieving? Over how many trades or what time frames? How realistic is it to even approach numbers like this consistently?
