The Math

How the Simulation Works

No single formula can tell you whether a challenge passes — the order of wins and losses matters as much as the average. So the simulator plays out 2,000 full attempts. Each attempt starts at the balance and walks trade by trade: a random draw against your win rate decides if the trade wins or loses, the equity moves by your risk (scaled by the reward-to-risk ratio on a win), and the attempt ends the moment it reaches the profit target or breaches the drawdown. The share of attempts that reach the target is your estimated pass probability.

Key Concepts

ConceptWhat it means
Monte CarloRuns many random trade sequences to estimate an outcome you can't solve with one formula.
PassAn attempt reaches the profit target before it touches the drawdown limit.
Why it variesEach run uses fresh random outcomes, so the estimate shifts slightly every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Monte Carlo simulation?

It is a method that answers a hard question by trying it thousands of times with random inputs. Here, each run plays out one full challenge attempt trade by trade. Counting how many of the 2,000 attempts reach the target gives a realistic probability that a fixed formula could never capture.

Why does the result keep changing?

Every run draws a fresh set of random win-or-loss outcomes, so the pass rate moves by a few points each time even with identical inputs. That small wobble is honest — it shows the genuine spread of outcomes your plan can produce, not a single tidy number.

Does a high pass rate guarantee passing?

No. A high estimate means the plan passes often across many simulated attempts, but any single real attempt can still breach early from a bad run of losses. The number describes the odds, not your specific result. Trade your own plan, not the average.

Which input matters most?

Win rate and reward-to-risk together set whether your edge is positive at all, but risk per trade controls survival. Raising risk speeds up a pass and the breach in equal measure, so a large stake can quietly turn a winning edge into a frequent failure. Adjust each slider and watch the gauge respond.
