Methodology & Definitions

Simulation engine

Outcomes are generated by a day-by-day Monte Carlo engine. Each path draws individual trades from the stated win-rate and R-multiple assumptions, applies per-trade cost, optional volatility scaling, single-day shock events, and the daily loss brake, and sizes risk under the selected fixed or compounding model. Percentiles are read across all completed paths; a fixed seed makes any run exactly reproducible.

Definitions

R-multiple
Profit or loss expressed as a multiple of the capital risked on the trade; a −1R loss equals one full risk unit.
Expectancy
The average net R earned per trade after costs; the engine of long-run growth.
Profit factor
Gross wins divided by gross losses; values near 1.0 indicate a fragile edge.
P5 / P50 / P95
The 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles of final capital across all paths — worst-case band, median, and optimistic band.
Risk of ruin
The probability of touching the user-defined critical capital threshold at any point along a path.
Time under water
Consecutive days spent below the previous equity peak; a measure of psychological carrying load.
Breakeven buffer
The gap between the actual win rate and the break-even win rate implied by the R-multiples and costs.

Known limitations

Unless the crisis regime is enabled, trades are drawn independently, so real-world autocorrelation and regime persistence may be understated. All inputs are user-supplied assumptions; results inherit their quality. Low path counts widen sampling error — percentile estimates stabilize as the path count increases.

Important Disclosures

This report is produced by a risk simulation engine and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer to trade any instrument. Simulated performance has inherent limitations: it is built on assumptions, it does not reflect actual trading, and no representation is made that any account will achieve results similar to those shown. Results depend on the quality of the assumptions and of any imported trade data.

All processing is local. No account is required, no data is transmitted to any server, and strategy records remain on this device unless exported by the user. The strategy owner retains sole responsibility for any trading decision.

Core Parameters

These are the core assumptions that drive the strategy's headline outcome. Advanced Risk Settings do not replace them; they are a stress and risk-control layer added on top of this base set.

Risk Model riskMode

Compounding: risk scales with current equity. Fixed: risk stays at the same nominal amount based on starting capital.

Simulation Reproducibility

Auto generates a new seed on every run. Fixed reproduces the same probability paths for the same parameters; recommended for reports, testing, and client presentations.

R Calculator

R is the unit of loss initially risked on a trade. Target R is calculated automatically from your entry, stop, and target prices.

Example: on a long trade with entry 100, stop 95, and target 110, the risk unit is 5 points, the potential gain is 10 points, and the target is 2R. A stop-out is −1R; hitting the target is +2R.
Risk Unit

P5 Interpretation Guide

  • P5 is the 5th percentile of the simulated distribution. It is not a guaranteed floor.
  • Monte Carlo results vary with the seed and path count. More paths stabilize tail estimates.
  • P1 Final is diagnostic and shown in the audit table. It is far more sensitive to path count and seed changes than P5; do not use it as a primary decision metric. The P1–P5 Tail Average is a more stable indicator for judging extreme-tail quality.
  • The Final P5 Cohort is better suited for seeing how the worst-outcome paths actually evolved.
  • The Drawdown Fan shows the stress experienced along the path even when final outcomes look acceptable.
Optimization Goal balanced

Failure Cause Breakdown

Splits failed outcomes into daily drawdown, total drawdown, and timeout — showing which rule breaks the strategy.

Why a Failure Breakdown?

For a prop trader, "I failed" is not a single answer. Whether the failure came from the daily limit, the total drawdown, or running out of time directly determines the right risk rule.

Why a Safe Risk Band?

A safe band is shown instead of a single optimum point, because in live trading slippage, daily trade count, and psychology never stay constant.

Why Median Days?

Pass probability alone is not enough. How many days it takes to reach the target makes both the timeout risk and the minimum-trading-day rule visible at once.

Firm Fit & Fee ROI PRO

Runs your current statistics against every firm's real rule set at once. Ranks firms by pass probability, expected attempts, expected fee spend, and modeled first-year return on the challenge fee — so the next $150–600 goes to the firm the math favors.

Risk Band Chart · P50 / P5 / Drawdown Probability

As risk increases, median growth rises while the worst-case floor and drawdown probability are tracked simultaneously. The current-risk marker shows where your selected risk sits within the band.

Why This Visual · Dual-Axis Risk Curve

For a trader, median growth alone is deceptive. Showing P50 and P(20% DD) on the same chart makes the drawdown cost of the "I'll just earn more" hypothesis visible.

Why This Visual · P5 Floor

P5 final capital shows how much of a capital floor the strategy leaves in a bad-but-plausible scenario; it is a more protective filter than the median for scaling decisions.

Why This Visual · Current Marker

You answer "how much risk should I take?" not from an abstract table, but by seeing where your current risk sits in the safe/watch/danger zones.

Concepts & Model Guide

This section explains every core concept in the simulation in plain trader language — no statistics degree assumed. The goal isn't just to define terms; it's to show, with examples, how each parameter changes your equity curve, your challenge odds, your psychology, and how you read the report.

Trade MathBrings R, trade risk, costs, and expected-value math together in one language.
Open
tradeCostR

Cost per Trade (R)

Enter the combined impact of commissions, spread, slippage, and fill differences in R terms. This cost is not a fixed percentage of capital; it is deducted from the 1R amount risked on each trade.

  • On a winning trade it's deducted from gross R; for example, a +2.00R win with 0.05R cost nets +1.95R.
  • Even a break-even trade can be net negative when costs exist; a 0R gross result with 0.05R cost means −0.05R net.
  • In high-frequency strategies, a seemingly small cost can meaningfully erode the total edge.
Example: $100,000 capital at 1% risk → 1R = $1,000. With a 0.05R cost, each trade costs $50.
riskPerTradePct

Risk per Trade

This percentage is not position size — it's the amount lost if your stop is hit. It's the main lever that simultaneously drives growth speed, drawdown depth, and critical capital risk.

  • In compounding risk mode, 1R grows or shrinks with current equity.
  • In fixed risk mode, 1R stays tied to starting capital; when equity falls, the effective risk pressure can rise.
  • As the risk percentage rises, good paths accelerate — but bad paths degrade geometrically harder.
R-Multiple

1R and R-Multiples

1R is the planned loss unit accepted before entering a trade. All wins, losses, costs, and shocks are measured on this common scale, so different price levels and stop distances can be compared in the same language.

  • +2R means a profit equal to twice the amount risked.
  • −1R is the planned stop loss; −1.5R can mean extra loss from stop slippage, a gap, or a lapse in discipline.
  • Thinking in R answers "what did I earn relative to the risk I took?" instead of "how many dollars did I make?"
Example: Entry 100 · Stop 95 · Target 110 → Risk 5 points · Reward 10 points · Target +2R.
breakEvenRate

Break-even Rate

Break-even means a trade's gross R result closes at roughly 0R. But if cost R isn't zero, that trade isn't truly neutral for you; it produces a small negative result equal to the cost.

  • A higher break-even rate can reduce the number of full losses, but cost accumulation continues.
  • The model keeps the sum of win rate and break-even within a sensible bound; the remaining probability goes to the loss side.
  • A very high break-even rate doesn't test whether the strategy looks profitable — it tests how well it withstands trading friction.
Example: a break-even trade at 0R with 0.05R cost → −0.05R net. 100 such trades create −5R of total friction.
Reading the SimulationHelps you correctly read P5/P50/P95, target hits, profitable finishes, and critical capital touches.
Open
P(final > starting)

Probability of Finishing in Profit

This metric is the share of paths whose final capital closes above starting capital. It is not a percentile; it shows the fraction of all simulated paths that end profitable.

  • A high profitable-finish rate signals consistency, but it does not mean the target was reached.
  • A strategy can finish in profit often yet rarely reach the target capital.
  • Read alongside P5, this metric separates "frequent small profits" from "rare large outcomes."
Example: if 3,400 of 5,000 paths close above the start, the probability of finishing in profit is 68%.
MOIC / Target

Target Capital and Growth Multiple

Target capital counts as achieved if it is touched at least once during the simulation. MOIC logic shows the ratio of final capital to starting capital; 2.0x means the capital doubled.

  • The probability of touching the target is not the same as the probability of finishing above it.
  • An ambitious target can encourage aggressive risk; read target probability together with P5 and drawdown.
  • MOIC describes growth simply, but it doesn't show the underwater periods experienced along the way.
Example: with $100,000 starting and a $200,000 target, the target MOIC is 2.0x. A path that reaches $210,000 and closes at $180,000 still counts as touching the target.
Critical Risk / Critical Threshold

Critical Capital Touch

Critical Risk here doesn't have to mean the account goes to zero. Touching the user-defined critical capital threshold counts as a serious risk-management warning.

  • With a 50% threshold, falling to half of starting capital is the critical event.
  • This metric is independent of the final outcome; if the threshold is touched anywhere along the path, the risk counts as realized.
  • Critical-threshold probability grows especially with risk percentage, R volatility, shock impact, and stop slippage.
Example: with $100,000 starting capital and a 50% critical threshold, any path touching $50,000 is flagged as a critical event.
Drawdown / TUW

Drawdown and Time Under Water

Drawdown measures how far capital has fallen from its peak. Time under water shows the longest stretch spent without making a new peak. One describes the depth of the pain, the other its duration.

  • A 25% drawdown means being one quarter below the prior peak.
  • Long time under water strains discipline even when the strategy works mathematically — most rule-breaking happens in drawdowns.
  • A good strategy should produce not just a high final capital, but a bearable drawdown profile.
Example: if capital falls from a $150,000 peak to $120,000, the drawdown is 20%. If no new peak arrives for 40 days, TUW is 40 days.
Stress and ProtectionVolatility, shock days, the daily loss brake, and parameter sensitivity reveal how bearable the strategy is.
Open
volatilityFactor

R Distribution Volatility

This parameter is not daily trade count, market noise, or position size. It sets how widely each trade's realized R outcome scatters around your average win R and average loss R inputs.

  • At 0x, outcomes cluster near the averages; win and loss R values behave more consistently.
  • As the value rises, the P5–P95 band widens; even if the median appears preserved, the worst-case floor can deteriorate.
  • Because the model generates the loss side with a lognormal tail, high volatility can asymmetrically amplify drawdowns and critical capital touches.
Example: AvgWinR 1.8R, AvgLossR 1.0R. At 1x volatility the bad band may stay reasonable; at 2x, P5 can fall sharply and ruin risk can rise.
maxDailyLossPct

Daily Loss Brake

This setting stops new trades from opening once the intraday loss threshold is reached. It is not a loss guarantee or a hard cap; a large single loss or a shock can overshoot the threshold.

  • Especially in high-frequency strategies, it limits bad days from snowballing within the same day.
  • If the shock comes first, capital may already be down; the brake stops the subsequent trades.
  • A limit that's too loose invites discipline breakdowns; one that's too tight can reduce the strategy's chance to recover.
Example: with $100,000 at the start of the day and a 5% limit, no new trades open after a $5,000 intraday loss.
shockProbability / shockImpactR

Shock Day Assumption

Shock parameters represent abnormal market conditions. They act as a daily hit separate from the normal trade distribution and primarily affect P5, max drawdown, and critical capital touches.

  • Shock probability is the chance of experiencing an abnormally bad day on any given trading day.
  • Shock impact is measured in R; a 3R shock means a negative hit equal to three times the current 1R amount.
  • Shocks are modeled as independent days; they don't fully capture the regime clustering of real markets.
Example: at 1% risk with $200,000 capital, 1R = $2,000. A 3R shock creates roughly $6,000 of extra loss.
riskMode

Compounding vs. Fixed Risk

Risk mode determines which capital base the 1R amount is computed from. This choice changes the strategy's growth curve and its defensive behavior in bad periods.

  • In compounding mode, 1R grows as capital grows and shrinks as capital falls — a natural braking mechanism.
  • In fixed mode, 1R stays tied to starting capital; it behaves more linearly in growth and more harshly in decline.
  • Compounding mode suits long-term growth analysis; fixed mode deserves separate study for prop or limited-account discipline.
Example: $100,000 starting capital, 1% risk. In compounding mode, if capital falls to $80,000, 1R = $800; in fixed mode, 1R can still be $1,000.
Sensitivity

Assumption Impact

Sensitivity analysis shows which assumption moves the result the most when changed. Use it to understand which dials the model responds to most — not as a measure of forecast precision.

  • Analytical sensitivity provides a quick first read.
  • Monte Carlo sensitivity re-simulates the selected parameters to measure the impact on P50, P5, and the critical threshold.
  • The most sensitive parameters are the ones that most deserve careful validation for data quality and live trading discipline.
Example: if raising risk % lifts P50 but sharply drops P5, there is growth — but at a high lower-tail cost.
Seed

Reproducible Simulation

The seed is the starting key of Monte Carlo randomness. With a fixed seed, the same parameters reproduce the same paths — enabling consistent comparisons for reports, audits, and client presentations.

  • An auto seed suits exploration and rapid experimentation.
  • A fixed seed eliminates the "why did this result change?" question.
  • If only the parameters should change in a comparison, keep the seed fixed.
Example: with seed 161803398 and the same parameters, P5/P50/P95 are recomputed from the same simulation universe.

Expected R

Theoretical vs. Distribution-Adjusted Edge

Expected R shows a trade's average R expectancy. The theoretical value uses only win rate, break-even, average win/loss, and cost. The distribution-adjusted value also accounts for how R volatility widens the win and loss distributions.

  • A positive Expected R indicates a long-term edge, but by itself it doesn't guarantee shallow drawdowns.
  • If the distribution-adjusted value is below the theoretical one, volatility may be making the loss tail especially costly.
  • If the edge is small, costs, shock probability, and high trade frequency can easily flip the strategy negative.
Simple read: Win% × AvgWinR − Loss% × AvgLossR − CostR.
Example: 55% wins at +1.8R, 40% losses at −1R, 0.05R cost → 0.55×1.8 − 0.40×1 − 0.05 = +0.54R.
P5 / P50 / P95

Reading Percentiles

Percentiles are not a single forecast — they are different points on the probability distribution. P50 is the median path, P5 the worst-case floor, and P95 the strong but less likely upper band.

  • If P5 is low, capital-preservation risk is high even if the strategy looks "good on average."
  • P50 is the typical outcome; on its own it isn't enough to size a challenge decision — the tails are where accounts die.
  • P95 shows the potential, but a strategy's quality should be judged by P5 and drawdown as much as by P95.
Example: the P5 of 5,000 paths is roughly the upper bound of the worst 250 paths. Watch this level for lower-tail safety.
Model Consistency Check Not needed for daily use; it verifies core computation behavior before generating a report.

This check verifies that the simulation's core rules behave as expected: capital stays flat with zero trades, cost-free break-even trades are neutral, costs reduce capital, and fixed vs. compounding risk diverge properly. It is not an investment decision metric — it's an extra safety check on the model's computational consistency.

Optional check
Equity Paths

This section reveals the path quality behind the headline results and the sensitivity of the worst case. The goal isn't more charts — it's to clarify what drawdown cost a high final capital came with, and how widening the R distribution affects the downside floor.

Reading order: Start with the relationship between final capital and maximum drawdown. If points cluster in the top-left, the strategy looks more bearable. Then check the R volatility map for divergence between P50 and P5; if the gap is widening, worst-case risk may be rising even while the median outcome holds up.
Each point represents one equity path from the main Monte Carlo simulation. The vertical axis shows final capital; the horizontal axis shows the deepest drawdown experienced along the path. This chart shows not just the size of the outcome, but the carry load required to reach it.

Top Right · Strong but DemandingCapital grows, but the ride is rough. Execution discipline is tested harder — and trailing-drawdown rules punish exactly this profile.
Bottom Left · Defensive but LimitedDrawdown is reasonable, but the outcome is weak. The system may be too cautious, cost-burdened, or short on edge.
Bottom Right · Avoid ZoneThe outcome is weak and the drawdown is high. This zone signals a broken risk-return balance in the parameter set.
Path Coverage
Commentary is generated after the simulation.

Final capital, drawdown, losing streaks, and target/critical threshold data will all be read from the same core Monte Carlo paths.

R Volatility Impact Map
This chart shows how widening the R distribution affects the typical outcome and the worst-case floor. The green series is P50 final capital; the ruby series is P5 final capital.
Ready
How to read it: Moving right, the distribution of R outcomes widens. If the green series stays flat while the ruby series slides down, the worst-case floor is weakening even though the typical outcome appears intact.
Low VolatilityR outcomes track closer to the averages. The gap between the expected outcome and the worst case stays relatively narrow.
Active ZoneThe neighborhood of your current parameter. When deciding, focus most on the P50/P5 divergence within this range.
High VolatilityTails widen. Watch P5, drawdown, and critical capital touches especially carefully.

Point Colors
The colors on the map show each simulated path's outcome status — so you read not only the capital level, but also target touches and critical-threshold risk at a glance.
Reached TargetOutcomes that touched the target capital at least once along the path.
Finished in ProfitOutcomes that closed above starting capital without reaching the target.
Middle ZoneOutcomes that neither reached the target nor fell to the critical threshold, but delivered limited returns.
Touched Critical ThresholdOutcomes that touched the defined critical capital level along the path.
Results Panorama

Simulation output reads in three families: final capital range, path comfort, and edge quality — so you see how results relate to each other instead of isolated boxes.

Equity Fan Chart
The P5, P25, P50, P75, and P95 lines display the strategy's distribution over time on a wide canvas; this chart is the primary reading area.

This chart doesn't follow a single simulation path. Each day, all Monte Carlo paths are re-ranked and that day's P5/P50/P95 thresholds are drawn. The P5 line is therefore not 'the same bad path walking through time' — it's the daily distribution's bottom-5% boundary.

Probability Slice Results
Where starting capital ends up across different probability slices.
Scenario Comparison · Preset Scenario Layer
Shows the P5, P50, and P95 final capital bands of your active set alongside the main preset scenarios, using the same seed and the detailed probability test. The chart uses a log scale so aggressive scenarios don't crush the others; the cards below preserve the exact nominal values.
Updates automatically after the simulation
Scale note: The left axis on this chart is logarithmic, so very aggressive scenarios don't visually compress the other results. The $ values on the cards are the true nominal outcomes.
ReadyThe preset scenario comparison appears here once the simulation runs.
Underwater Curve · Drawdown Fan
Shows how median and bad-band drawdowns deepen over the days. The zero line means a new peak.

Even when the equity fan slopes upward, this chart reveals the peak-to-trough declines experienced along the way.

Losing Streak Distribution
The distribution of the longest consecutive losing streak seen on each simulated path. A critical read for psychological endurance and risk-reduction thresholds.
Recovery / Time Under Water Distribution
The longest number of days each path spends without a new peak. Shows how long the strategy keeps capital under psychological pressure.
Monte Carlo Sensitivity · P50 / P5 / Critical Threshold
Runs down/up shock passes for each parameter with the same seed, measuring the Monte Carlo difference in P50, P5, and critical capital risk. ΔCritical Threshold is the percentage-point change in critical capital risk versus the base model; +2 pp means more risk, −2 pp means less.
Ready after the simulation
ΔCritical Threshold definition: The critical threshold is the probability of touching the defined capital level. ΔCritical Threshold is the change in that probability after the parameter shock versus the base model, read in percentage points. For example, +1.8 pp means critical capital risk rose by 1.8 percentage points.

Parameter Logic

Core Mode determines the strategy's edge, growth speed, and probability of reaching the target. Risk per Trade states what percentage of capital a 1R loss represents; its nominal equivalent on starting capital is shown live on the control card. More risk can accelerate growth up to a point, but beyond the critical threshold, drawdown, ruin probability, and compounding-loss geometry can deteriorate quickly. Advanced Risk Settings control the impact of bad days and the width of the distribution. Because cost is measured in R, no incorrect commission is deducted from equity without knowing the stop distance.
