I want you to focus on the Average Profit % row under the section that begins with Number of Trades. A quick glance at the Net Profit and Net Profit % would indicate that the Avg Profit % for Shorts should be negative as they lose money (yet its +1.43%), and the Avg Profit % for Buy & Hold is way too excessive (+32.88%). [The Avg Profit % under Winning Trades and Avg Loss % under Losing Trades may similarly be incorrect; haven't checked.]

Not sure how Average Profit % is calculated but it appears to be wrong. Perhaps its unduly influenced by a few trades and thus appears inappropriate in the overall context?

It's calculated as the simple sum of all Position.NetProfitPercent's divided by position count. Unfortunately, the table is not enough for this kind of troubleshooting: we need to know the net profit % for each short position, available by copying from the Trades tab. tia.

You are right. I calculated the simple average in Excel and it gives the Avg Profit % value. However, this raises the question if using the simple average is the right way to do this, as the table above shows it can lead to some funky values. The problem with a simple average is that everything gets equal weight e.g. a 10% profit/loss when the account equity was XX gets the same weight as the same 10% profit/loss when the account value has doubled (or halved). Perhaps you might consider adding a metric like Weighted Average Profit % (and also Weighted Average Profit)?

-> CODE tags

The % profit of a trade doesn't have anything to do with weighting. % Profit is % Profit no matter what the size of the position.

On the other hand, the average dollar profit does would be a function of position sizing and progressive changes in Porfolio value if fixed sizing isn't used.
