QuantConnect/Lean provides the following statistics: Average Loss, Average Win, Compounding Annual Return, Drawdown, Expectancy, Net Profit, Sharpe Ratio, Loss Rate, Win Rate, Profit-Loss Ratio, Alpha, Beta, Annual Standard Deviation, Annual Variance, Information Ratio, Tracking Error and Treynor Ratio.
Sharpe Ratio is an industry standard to evaluate an strategy performance. However, the best evaluator depends on the strategy goal. For instance, if we do not want our strategy to follow the market performance, we would want a low beta.
Did you look at the literature about trading performance? I believe it is a vast one!
