Hello fellow traders, I have a question for those who create EAs. when doing optimization of the ea to find the best parameters, which one is more important between profit factor and expected payoff? I'm sure this question has been asked before in this thread but I couldn't find the discussion so please help me decide.
Let's say you have 2 results,
A. a result of 2.04 profit factor and a 150 expected payoff.
B. a result of 1.89 profit factor and a 200 expected payoff.
Result A has 80 total trades and and result B has 82 total trades, both have about the same max DD.
Which one would you choose and why?
