Imo its a case of comparing the reward/risk, where risk is represented by the drawdown $'s (not days) and reward is the P/L. On that basis:

Portfolio 1 R/R = 8,777.69 / 432.25 = 20.31

Portfolio 2 R/R = 20,036.62 / 1,016.00 = 19.72

Portfolio 1 R/R slightly better, but Portfolio 2 absolute risk & return are both larger.

Once you know that then you have to decide what is more important to you personally - maximising return or minimising risk - that answer is different for everyone.

Cheers, Sharks

Thanks Sharks.

I'm comfortable with either of them tbh but most likely I'd pick Portfolio 2 - looking forward to post an update on both of their performance in due course as they are now both in demo account.
