## 📈 Key Metrics Explained

### Profit Factor (PF)
```
Formula: Average Winning Trade / Average Losing Trade

Examples:
├─ PF 2.5  = Every $1 lost, you win $2.50 ✅ (Excellent)
├─ PF 1.5  = Every $1 lost, you win $1.50 ✓ (Good)
├─ PF 1.0  = Break even on average
└─ PF 0.5  = Every $1 lost, you win $0.50 ❌ (Bad)

Rule: Only trade systems with PF ≥ 1.5
```

### Win Rate (WR)
```
Formula: Winning Trades / Total Trades × 100%

Examples:
├─ 65% win rate = 65 wins out of 100 trades ✅
├─ 55% win rate = 55 wins out of 100 trades ✓
├─ 45% win rate = 45 wins out of 100 trades ⚠️
└─ 35% win rate = 35 wins out of 100 trades ❌

Rule: Aim for 55%+, Combined with good profit factor
```

### Consistency (Consistency %)
```
Formula: Measures how stable/predictable results are

High Consistency (75%+):
├─ Results are predictable
├─ Can size up with confidence
└─ Example: Win by $2-4, lose by $1-2

Low Consistency (<50%):
├─ Results are random/unpredictable
├─ Can have large wins then large losses
└─ High risk, low reliability
```

### Reliability (%)
```
Formula: Average confidence level of all trades

High Reliability (75%+):
├─ You're confident in your entries
├─ Can take more trades
└─ Entry signals are clear

Low Reliability (<50%):
├─ Entries are questionable
├─ Take fewer trades, only obvious ones
└─ Entry signals are ambiguous
```

### Slippage Impact (%)
```
Formula: Total Slippage / Total Gross P&L × 100%

Examples:
├─ 5% slippage impact  = Tight execution, good ✅
├─ 10% slippage impact = Normal conditions ✓
├─ 15% slippage impact = Wider spreads ⚠️
└─ 20%+ slippage impact = Terrible execution ❌

Rule: Avoid trading when slippage > 15% of profit
```
