Hello Community!

What is the difference between Symmetry vs. Trades symmetry?
I see these 2 at the rankings if I search for “Symmetry”.

symmetry – short profit/loss / long profit/loss – so this counts net profit for both sides

trades symmetry – the same, but count number of trades

I am just wondering which from these could be more important.
I think the “normal” Symmetry is more important. Why?

Bacuse if you have good symmetry regarding the net profits, then it should tell one, that the strategy generates profits, “it does not matter” what kind of trend or bias a market has
But if we force the “Trades symmetry” we just let generate almost the same number of trades, but this is just number of trades and the generated profit from one side could be totally ruined from the negative trades of the other side. So I think if we just look for the symmetry of the number of the trades it could be a trap….

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
