Post From: what is a good measure of a trading system?

On a monthly basis I log:
Win : Loss ratio
Ave Win : Ave Loss
Profit factor as defined in # 3 and given in line 4 of Activity log

Analysis of these gives ideas to improve performance in following month e.g. tighten stops, widen profit target etc

The average profit factor in the Activity log is absolute value of Average winning trade / Average losing trade. Similar to the one I use. Would not like to say one is better than the other.
