  "description": "A seeded Monte Carlo study of what a consistency / best-day rule costs the probability of passing a proprietary-trading evaluation — a steep, non-linear tax that punishes the trader whose edge is concentrated in a few large days hardest. Synthetic archetype; every figure model-derived and reproducible.",

  "disclaimer": "Model-derived and illustrative. The archetype is synthetic and does not represent any specific proprietary-trading firm; the study ranks no firm. A real evaluation combines a consistency rule with other clauses (a daily loss limit, a minimum number of trading days) that change every number. Your own edge, cost and trade frequency move the whole picture; this study shows the SHAPE of the tax, not a target to copy."
