## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability delx-commerce-profit-factor-calculator-a884afa0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Calculate the profit factor for these trade PnLs: [15, -3, 5, -4, 10, 8, -2, -1, 12, -3] — I want to see gross wins, gross losses, and the overall ratio.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap, deterministic profit factor computation from raw PnL data without setting up any account or subscription. Ideal for AI trading agents that need on-demand performance metric calculation at $0.001 per call with USDC micropayment via x402. Prefer over building your own logic when you need verifiable delivery guarantees and no infrastructure overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing pnls array returns an error or undefined result
- All-negative PnL array yields zero profit factor
- All-positive PnL array yields infinite profit factor (handled via infinite:true flag)
- Malformed input types (non-numeric values in array) may cause computation errors
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request before computation

## How this service works

Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the schema identifier, a boolean indicating whether the profit factor is infinite (no losses), gross win total, gross loss total, and the computed profit factor as a decimal number (e.g. 2.857 meaning $2.86 won per $1 lost).
