I think the way MT5 calculates the Sharpe Ratio (SR) as explained here https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/1372/page2 is incorrect...

Hello, i have developed a couple of what I call very good EAs.
I back tested on 3 years and 2 years, I have a Sharpe of 7+ and 4+, but my recovery is garbage.. .50. Or so ..
Is recovery a factor for most of the traders here? Ig I figgure it would be in correlation to thrrespective gains in profit ?
