Risk simulator

What happens to your account over 100 trades? 1,000 simulated accounts with the same rules show you the whole range – from good luck to bad.

Same system (40 % wins, 2R), different risk:

How the simulator works

  • Every account makes the set number of trades. Whether a trade wins is decided at random with your win rate.
  • A win brings risk × R, a loss costs exactly the risk. Risk is a fixed percentage of the current balance.
  • You can switch on costs: spread and commission count on every trade, slippage only on losses. Real trades depend on each other – so the simulation shows a range, not a forecast.

A simulation with random numbers based on your inputs. It shows possible paths, not a forecast and not investment advice.
