How Profit Factor Is Calculated

Formula: Profit Factor = Total Gross Profit ÷ Total Gross Loss

Example: Won $15,000 total across winning trades, lost $10,000 across losers:
Profit Factor = 15,000 ÷ 10,000 = 1.5

Benchmarks: Profit Factor > 2.0 = Excellent system. 1.5–2.0 = Good. 1.0–1.5 = Marginal — expenses may wipe you out. < 1.0 = Losing system. Most profitable traders aim for 1.5+ with a win rate above 40%.
