1. Total Returns

$$Total Returns = (P_{end}-P_{start} ) / P_{start} * 100\% \\ P_{end} = Account\space Final\space Assets \\ P_{start}=Account\space Primary\space Assets$$

---

2. Total Annualized Returns

$$Total Annualized Returns=R_p=((1+P)^\frac{250}{n}-1) * 100\% \\ P = Total\space Returns \\ n=Execution\space Days$$

---

3. Benchmark Returns

$$Benchmark\space Returns=(M_{end}-M_{start})/M_{start}*100\% \\ M_{end}= Benchmark\space Final\space Assets \\ M_{start}=Benchmark\space Primary\space Assets$$

---

4. Benchmark Annualized Returns

$$Benchmark\space Annualized\space Returns=R_m=((1+M)^\frac{250}{n}-1)*100\% \\ M = Benchmark\space Returns \\ n=Execution\space Days$$

---

5. Alpha

$$Alpha=\alpha=R_p- [R_f+\beta_p(R_m-R_f)] \\ R_p=Strategies\space Annualized\space Returns \\ R_m=Benchmark\space Annualized\space Returns \\ R_f=Riskfree\space Interest\space Rate \\ \beta_p=Strategies\space Beta$$

if $\alpha>0,$ the strategy gains excess returns.
if $\alpha=0,$ the strategy gains general returns.
if $\alpha<0,$ the strategy gains lower than benchmark returns.

---

6. Beta

$$Beta=\beta=\frac{Cov(D_p,D_m)}{Var(D_m)} \\ D_p=Strategies\space Daily\space Returns \\ D_m=Benchmark\space Daily\space Returns \\ Cov(D_p,D_m)=The\space Covariance\space of\space Strategies\space Daily\space Returns\space and\space Benchmark\space Daily\space Returns \\ Var(D_m)=The\space Variance \space of \space Benchmark \space Daily\space Returns$$

if $\beta>0$, the strategy is in opposition direction to the benchmark.
if $\beta=0$, the strategy and benchmark are no related.
if $0<\beta<1$, the strategy is in same direction to the benchmark, but smaller range of movement.
if $\beta=1$, the strategy is in same direction to the benchmark, and same range of movement.
if $\beta>1$, the strategy is in same direction to the benchmark, but bigger range of movement.

---

7. Sharpe
$\space$ $\space$ $\space$ How much excess returns will be given by per unit of total risk?

$$Sharpe\space Ratio=\frac{R_p - R_f}{\sigma_p}\\ R_p=Strategies\space Annualized\space Returns \\ R_f=Riskfree\space Interest\space Rate \\ \sigma_p=The\space Volatility\space of\space Strategies\space Returns$$

---

8. Sortino
$\space$ $\space$ $\space$ How much excess returns will be given by per unit of downside risk?

$$Sortino\space Ratio=\frac{R_p - R_f}{\sigma_{pd}}\\ R_p=Strategies\space Annualized\space Returns \\ R_f=Riskfree\space Interest\space Rate \\ \sigma_{pd}=Strategies\space Downside\space Volatility$$

---

9. Information Ratio
$\space$ $\space$ $\space$ Measure the excess returns be given by per unit of excess risk.

$$Information\space Ratio=IC=\frac{R_p - R_m}{\sigma_t}\\ R_p=Strategies\space Annualized\space Returns \\ R_m=Benchmark\space Annualized\space Returns \\ \sigma_t=\\ The\space Standard\space Deviation\space of\space Difference\space between\space Strategies\space Daily\space Returns\space and\space Benchmark\space Daily\space Returns\space (fetch\space one\space year's\space data)$$

---

10. Benchmark Volatility

$$Benchmark\space Volatility=\sigma_m=\sqrt{\frac{250}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(r_m-\bar{r_m})^2}\\ r_m=Benchmark\space Daily\space Returns \\ \bar{r_m}=\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n}r_m\\ n=Execution\space Days$$

---

11. Max Drawdown

$$Max\space Drawdown=Max(P_x-P_y)/P_x\\ P_x, P_y=Account\space Assets\space on\space any\space day,\space \space y>x\\ $$

---

12. Downside Risk

$$Downside\space Risk=\sigma_{pd}=\sqrt{\frac{250}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(r_p - \bar{r_{pi}})^2 f(t)}\\ r_p=Strageties\space Daily\space Returns \\ \bar{r_{pi}}=\frac{1}{i} \sum_{j=1}^{i}r_j\\ n=Execution Days\\ f(t)=1,\space if\space\space\space r_p< \bar{r_{pi}}\\ f(t)=0,\space if\space\space\space r_p\geq \bar{r_{pi}}$$

---

13. The Profit and Loss Ratio

$$The\space Profit\space and\space Loss\space Ratio=\frac{Total\space Profit}{Total\space Loss}$$
