Every trader has wondered: "What would my account look like if I just stopped doing that one thing?" The What-If Simulator answers this question with real data. It takes your actual trade history, removes the trades associated with a specific behavioral pattern, and recalculates everything — net P&L, equity curve, max drawdown, win rate, profit factor. The result is often the most motivating analysis a trader can see. ## How It Works The simulator doesn't guess or project. It uses your real trades: 1. **Start with your complete trade history** for the selected period 2. **Identify trades matching a pattern** (e.g., all revenge trading clusters, or all trades during your worst 3 hours) 3. **Remove those trades** from the set 4. **Recompute all metrics** with the remaining trades 5. **Show before and after** side by side No Monte Carlo simulation. No random sampling. No projections. Just: "Here's what your actual results would look like without this specific behavior." ## What You Can Simulate ### Remove Revenge Trading Clusters The most common and most powerful simulation. Revenge clusters are bursts of trades after losses where quality degrades: **Before**: Net P&L: -$2,340 | 184 trades | Win rate: 44% **After removing revenge clusters** (32 trades in 8 clusters): - Net P&L: +$1,120 - Trades: 152 - Win rate: 49% - Recoverable: **$3,460** That's the gap. $3,460 of damage from 32 trades you didn't need to take. ### Remove Worst Trading Hours Every trader has 2-3 hours that consistently produce negative expectancy: **Before**: Net P&L: +$850 over 30 days **After removing hours 22:00-01:00** (your worst window): - Net P&L: +$2,190 - You were losing $1,340 in those 3 hours - Everything else was net positive ### Cap Daily Trade Count What if you stopped after your 15th trade each day? **Before**: Average 28 trades/day, net P&L: +$3,200/month **After capping at 15**: Net P&L: +$4,800/month - Trades 16-28 were losing $1,600/month in aggregate - Fewer trades
