Sharpe Ratio

Definition

A measure of risk-adjusted return, calculated as the excess return per unit of volatility. Higher values indicate better risk-adjusted performance.

Example

A Sharpe ratio of 2.0 means the strategy earned 2 units of return for every 1 unit of risk taken. Generally, above 1.0 is good, above 2.0 is very good.
