What This Calculator Shows You
Equity Curve Simulation
500 randomized paths showing every possible outcome for your year. See the median result, best 10%, worst 10%, and everything in between.
P&L Distribution
Histogram showing how final outcomes are distributed. Instantly see the probability of hitting your profit target vs. having a losing year.
Key Statistics
Expected annual P&L, probability of profit, average max drawdown, win/lose streaks, and expected value per trade.
Why It Matters
Most traders focus on win rate alone. This calculator proves that a 40% win rate with 3:1 R:R crushes a 70% win rate with 1:1 R:R over time.
How to Use It
- Set your R:R ratio — How much you make on a win vs. how much you lose on a loss (e.g., 3:1 means you win $300 when right, lose $100 when wrong)
- Enter your win rate — What percentage of your trades are winners
- Set your risk per trade — The dollar amount you risk on each trade
- Choose your frequency — How many trades you take per week
- Run the simulation — See 500 possible outcomes for your year
