- Set Distribution Type to Normal, Simulations to 1000, Trades to Forecast to 100.
- Enter your backtested win rate and R:R. Set Cost per Trade honestly.
- Position Sizing: Fixed Fractional at 1%.
- Enable Regime Switching. Set adverse win rate \~5–10% below your normal rate.
- Display Mode: Fan Chart.
- Check: Ruin Rate below 5%? 95th %ile max DD survivable? Profit Factor above 1.0?
Once the baseline looks sound, switch to Fat Tails and observe the change in ruin rate and worst-case drawdown. That gap is the black-swan risk your strategy carries.
If you have real trade data, paste it in and switch to Bootstrap (Block). This is the most realistic simulation the indicator can produce.
