 - `Total profit %`: Total profit. Aligned to the `TOTAL` row's `Tot Profit %` from the first table. Calculated as `(End capital − Starting capital) / Starting capital`.
+- `CAGR %`: Compound annual growth rate.
+- `Profit factor`: profit / loss.
 - `Avg. stake amount`: Average stake amount, either `stake_amount` or the average when using dynamic stake amount.
 - `Total trade volume`: Volume generated on the exchange to reach the above profit.
 - `Best Pair` / `Worst Pair`: Best and worst performing pair, and it's corresponding `Cum Profit %`.
