Hello Harshab,

The factors of utmost importance are

  1. Max Draw down,

  2. Longest loosing streak(max loss you accumulate on consecutive losses.)

3.Variance on Net result on YOY basis. Higher the variation, more your system is vulnerable to market fluctuation.

These are the factors which I personally gave much attention, when I developed my own strategy. You already mentioned rest.
