Stress test
The verified track record answers what did happen. This page answers what would happen: a behavioral policy derived from this trader's chain, played day-by-day against market regimes they haven't traded through. One deterministic path per regime, with no Monte Carlo, no distribution, and no fan chart. A single causal story you can audit.
Edge degrades in regimes the strategy didn't train on, slippage widens with vol, and the policy sits out under drawdown. These are the standard failures of real trading reflected back at simulation speed. Behavioral simulation, not investment advice.
Regime
Compare all regimes →Near-zero drift with 18% realized vol and frequent direction changes. Brutal for trend-followers; neutral-to-positive for mean-reversion.
Custom regime
Define your own scenario.
Set an annualized drift and volatility, a horizon, and any single-day shocks. The same behavioral policy is replayed against the path you describe, built on the fly, never stored.

What happened
Composed deterministically from the policy decisions. The same input always yields the same paragraph, with no LLM, cached forever.
Run against the Choppy sideways (2015 stylized) (synthetic regime over 252 trading days). The behavior policy derived from this trader's chain produced a +7.8% total return with a 1.3% peak drawdown; 15 days to recover from the worst trough. The policy entered 13 times, exited 12 times, and sat out 0 days under drawdown / vol thresholds. Policy thresholds: 10.0% profit target, -6.3% stop loss, 10% of equity per position, active on ~30% of trading days. This is a single deterministic path — no Monte Carlo aggregation. It shows what the policy would do in this specific scenario, not a distribution. It is not investment advice.

Adversarial resilience
How much of the edge survives a competitor who knows the playbook and fades the policy's fills, hardest on forced stop exits. A resilience disclosure, not a verdict on the trader.

Against a competitor who knows this playbook, the strategy retains 94% of its edge in the Choppy sideways (2015 stylized) regime: a +7.8% return becomes +7.3% once the adversary withdraws liquidity on its 25 fills, 12 of them forced stop exits. Higher resilience means the edge depends less on cheap, unopposed execution. This is a resilience disclosure, not a verdict on the trader — a deterministic execution-cost stress, not a prediction.

trough of the path
Your dollars on the same simulated Choppy sideways (2015 stylized) path, a linear scaling of the policy curve, not a separate simulation. Mirroring is exactly proportional, so the percentage path is identical at every allocation; only the dollar figures change. After-fee figures apply this trader's 25% performance fee on a high-watermark basis (you never pay twice for the same gain). Display only; behavioral simulation, not investment advice.
Investor lens
The same result, read through four investor archetypes. Each weights drawdown, return, recovery, and survival differently. The spread itself is the signal. When the panel disagrees, your own tolerance is the tiebreaker.
Deterministic verdicts. Not allocation advice, just a disclosure of how different profiles would read these numbers.
All 4 archetypes read this trader favourably. The reasons differ — capital preservation, growth, risk-adjusted, and stress survival each see it positively from their own angle.
Preservation
The Capital Preserver
Drawdown weighs heaviest here: 1.3% peak drawdown, recovered after 15 days. Upside of +7.8% total return doesn't offset the capital-at-risk reading.
Growth
The Growth Seeker
Total return of +7.8% drives the reading; the 1.3% drawdown is acceptable cost-of-capture. Note: the policy stayed engaged with 13 entries.
Risk-Parity
The Risk-Parity Allocator
On a risk-adjusted basis the return/drawdown ratio of +6.14 is the read. +7.8% return came at 1.3% peak DD; weight in proportion to that ratio.
Skeptic
The Regime Skeptic
Survivability is the question, not upside. The 1.3% max drawdown and the policy exited 12 times against 13 entries characterise how the policy responds when the regime turns.
