*If the average negative pips (by modulus) are higher than positive ones - the participant receives a Zero for that category
I think there is something wrong with that rule
for example: if you have only one trade closed with -100 pips and 15 trades closed with +80 pips you take 0 for that category
for having points for that category you have 2 ways
1) closing the position with -10 pips to have -55 pips lost makes the win/loss ratio worse
2)make 15 trades with 121 pips to have points and increase the win/loss ratio
I think that rule should be fixed
thank you

I have the same problem:

I don't understand Dukascopy evaluation system, one hour I have 85 points next hour 55???? I didn't lose any trade or even one point??? Trades where closed by orders! I suspect that it may be because of my last trade which ended only +6 points! And it changed my Average points per positive trade. At the moment average negative trade is greater then average outcome from positive trade, but why then they don't pay attention to Win/Loos ratio. I can easily decrease my average pip outcome from negative trade, but it will ruin my win/loss ratio?????

This evaluation factors is meant to constraint scalping. It does not account for profitability/performance or win/loss ratio. The point is that every factor assesses it's own narrow domain, which then builds up in an aggregate multi-factor evaluation, which is exactly the one to be considered as the main valuation.

Please mind that your score depends not only on your own performance & statistics, but also on the performance of competitors. I.e. all scores are assigned on a relative basis, depending on the rankings. Hence, even if you do not conduct any trading/social activity, your score will fluctuate because your ranking against other participants will keep changing.
