Entry and exit efficiency

[Sharkfin]

Can anyone tell me how to best employ backtest results using entry and exit efficiency? I did some tests on a system I've been developing but I don't know how to interpre/use the results. I had an entry efficiency of about 90% but an exit efficiency of only 65%. That basically tells me I'm maybe giving back too much in profits but other than that, I don't know what the results mean/how to use them to improve my exits. Can anyone offer me some guidance on how to use?
Cheers, Sharkfin.

Can you describe what the figures mean, with an example?

Its just a question of maths. Why not put the whole lot on a spreadsheet with all the "variables", variable and see what gives the best results. After that forward test the optimum results and then start again!
