Trader Benchmark Report
A living benchmark framework for trader performance metrics: win rate, expectancy, profit factor, drawdown, mistakes, and consistency.
Benchmark framework
ProfitPnL will publish anonymized aggregate trader benchmarks as the dataset grows. Until then, this page defines the metrics serious traders should compare against themselves month over month.
| Win rate | 40–55% | Context matters more than raw accuracy |
| Profit factor | 1.2–2.0+ | Below 1 is negative, above 1.5 is healthier |
| Average R | +0.10R to +0.50R | Small positive expectancy compounds |
| Max drawdown | Strategy dependent | Must be survivable emotionally and financially |
| Most common leak | FOMO / rule breaks | Behavior is often more important than entries |
Why this matters
Original benchmark data becomes one of the strongest SEO and backlink assets in trading because competitors can copy calculators, but they cannot copy proprietary anonymized performance research.
