/// Calculates the profit factor based on portfolio returns.
///
/// Profit factor is defined as the ratio of gross profits to gross losses:
/// `Sum(Positive Returns) / Abs(Sum(Negative Returns))`
///
/// A profit factor greater than 1.0 indicates a profitable strategy, while
/// a factor less than 1.0 indicates losses exceed gains.
///
/// Generally:
/// - 1.0-1.5: Modest profitability
/// - 1.5-2.0: Good profitability
/// - > 2.0: Excellent profitability
