Description

MS123 Scorecard is a library of performance metrics used in Wealth-Lab's Strategy Rank and Optimization tools. It is a part of MS123 Visualizers. Typically, these can be strategy performance or especially reward/risk metrics.

The following metrics are included in the library:

  • NetProfit
  • Profit per Bar ( APR % )
  • Winning %
  • Avg Profit %
  • Avg Bars Held
  • Maximum Drawdown %
  • Maximum Drawdown of closed equity ($/%)
  • Performance Ratio
  • Select Net Profit
  • Ulcer Performance Index
  • MEGAN Ratio
  • APD Ratio
  • APAD Ratio
  • Lake Ratio
  • K-Ratio
  • MAR Ratio
  • Sharpe ratio
  • Sortino ratio
  • Wealth-Lab Score
  • Entry/Exit/Total Trade Efficiency
  • Average risk/reward ratio (for total, winning and losing trades)
  • Exposure
  • Expectancy
  • Expectancy (traditional)
  • Profit Factor
  • Recovery Factor
  • Ulcer Index
  • Sharpe ratio, on monthly and annualized basis
  • Average drawdown %

To use the library, select "MS123 Scorecard" on the dropdown list in Strategy Ranking or Optimization tools - it's next to the Basic or Extended scorecards.

Lite version: No closed equity

As calculating closed equity could get very slow for large intraday backtests with systems creating thousands of positions, we've made two optimizations in version 2012.12:

  • optimized closed equity algorithm (works 2 times faster)
  • added a new scorecard that does not contain any performance metrics based on closed equity: "MS123 Scorecard (No closed equity)". Select this if you want to execute large optimizations of intraday strategies creating thousands of positions at a fastest speed.

Notes

  • Several metrics are not available in Raw Profit mode - namely Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, Ulcer Performance Index, MEGAN ratio, Max drawdown of closed equity, K-Ratio and MAR Ratio. Switch to Portfolio Simulation mode to utilize them.
  • Sortino ratio uses monthly returns (complete months only).
  • There are two Sharpe ratio versions: the Wealth-Lab figure (annualized) and the one that uses monthly returns (complete months only; numbers are slightly different from Wealth-Lab's own metric).
  • Sharpe ratio and Sortino ratio account for the user-specified risk-free rate (Preferences - Backtest Settings).
