Deterministic Strategy Stress Test

Run the numbers with your own assumptions

Estimate expectancy, profit factor, drawdown, losing streak pressure, and sensitivity to one occasional tail loss using clearly labeled hypothetical assumptions.

Public formula: Expected result = trades x expectancy minus selected tail-loss impact. Drawdown warnings compare modeled losses with your limit.

Fast answer

A strategy that wins small most days can still breach a drawdown limit if one tail loss is many times the average win.

The useful question is not whether one metric looks good. It is whether the full risk, reward, cost, timing, and recovery math still make sense when the trade behaves badly.

Action checklist

  • Enter realistic loss size, not only normal loss size.
  • Include occasional tail-loss assumptions.
  • Set a maximum acceptable drawdown.
  • Review risk per trade before frequency increases.
