Conclusion

The strategy demonstrated consistent profitability over the test period with controlled drawdowns and favourable risk-adjusted returns. Further refinements may improve robustness and prop firm viability.

Prop firm simulation.

Most strategies don't fail because they lose money. They fail because of the rules.

FTA Labs can simulate your strategy against realistic prop firm conditions to help answer questions such as:

  • ✓ Can this strategy survive a 50K evaluation?
  • ✓ How long until first payout?
  • ✓ How many accounts should I trade?
  • ✓ Is the strategy too volatile?
  • ✓ What is the probability of failure?
  • ✓ What are realistic payout expectations?
