How to Use the RR Simulator

Overview

The RR Simulator helps you answer two critical questions:

• “What if I changed the risk-reward ratio of my strategy?”
• “How would that impact my trading results?”

This tool takes your real trades and shows how performance would shift if you had aimed for different take profit (TP) levels — without changing your entry or stop loss (SL).

✅ What the RR Simulator Analyzes

To run accurate simulations, the RR Simulator only includes trades that meet this key condition:

• The trade had a clearly defined Stop Loss (SL) at the moment of execution.

⚠️ Important:

• Trades without an SL at entry are excluded.
• SLs added after entry are ignored.

🔍 What You Can Simulate

Once trades qualify, the RR Simulator allows you to see how your results would change at different fixed risk-reward (RR) multiples.

Example:

If you normally trade with a 2R target, you can simulate what would happen with 3R, 5R, or beyond.

The simulator calculates key performance metrics, including:

• Win rate (breakeven trades ignored)
• Total profit/loss
• Profit factor
  • Sum of wins ÷ sum of losses
  • A profit factor between 1.75 – 4.0 suggests strong profitability without overfitting
• Average drawdown

👉 Results are based on your real execution history, showing what could have happened if you let trades run longer or closed them earlier.

Note: The simulator requires at least 3 trades recorded, but insights are more reliable with larger sample sizes.

📊 Why the RR Simulator Matters

This isn’t just a theoretical backtest. It’s a data-driven tool that helps you:

• Fine-tune your strategy
• Compare higher vs. lower TP targets
• Balance risk, reward, and consistency
• Validate strategy changes before risking real capital

Whether you’re experimenting with 1R, 2R, 3R, or stretch targets like 5R–10R, the RR Simulator provides clear, unbiased feedback using your own trades.

🚫 What the RR Simulator Does NOT Do

• ❌ It does not simulate new trade entries
• ❌ It does not include trades without an initial SL
• ❌ It does not fabricate results — it only models alternate outcomes based on your original SL and the market’s movement

👉 With the RR Simulator, you can explore “what if” scenarios, uncover hidden strengths in your strategy, and make smarter decisions with real evidence from your own trading history.
