QIWU 02 · PROBABILITY · LONG-HORIZON SIMULATION

One trade is not a system.

Place a strategy inside a long sequence. Observe how win rate, payoff ratio, position size, result order, drawdown and compounding shape the path.

SURVIVALRisk
Interactive probability experiment

Same loss. Different edge. A very different path.

Change the win rate, number of trades and risk-to-reward ratio for two strategies. Then reshuffle the order of wins and losses to see why expectancy and sequence risk must be studied together.

FORMULATrades × [ Win rate × (Reward ratio × $100) − Loss rate × $100 ]

The path uses a fixed number of wins and losses in an illustrative order. Real sequences, slippage and outcomes vary. This experiment is for probability education only, not a forecast or investment recommendation.

THE EXPERIMENT SHOWS THE RESULT. THE METHODOLOGY EXPLAINS WHY.Continue to the Methodology ↓
The question behind the lab

Can the method survive long enough for its edge to matter?

A single outcome may be luck, noise or an unusually favourable market. A sequence reveals how the method, risk and execution behave together.

01 · ASSUMPTIONS

Define the method

Set the starting capital, win rate, payoff ratio, risk level, position-sizing approach and number of rounds.

02 · SIMULATION

Run the sequence

Expose the method to different orders of wins and losses, streaks, volatility and drawdowns.

03 · REVIEW

Examine the path

Observe recovery, fragility, survival and the point at which risk begins to overwhelm the method.

Win rate is only one part of the story.

The simulation loop

From an assumption to a reviewable long-term path.

The objective is not to create a beautiful curve. It is to understand what must remain true for the method to keep functioning.

Assume

State the inputs clearly instead of hiding them behind a final result.

Sequence

Allow wins and losses to arrive in different orders and clusters.

Observe

Track equity, drawdown, recovery speed and survival across many rounds.

Review

Identify where risk, sizing or execution weakens the original edge.

Method in action

Make uncertainty visible, comparable and discussable.

Cards, charts and probability devices turn an abstract sequence into a concrete experience. Every assumption, decision, result and drawdown leaves a path that can be reviewed.

Clear boundaries

Simulation describes possibilities. It does not promise outcomes.

The Probability Lab is designed to improve questions, not manufacture certainty.

The Lab explores

  • Strategy assumptions and expected value
  • Risk, sizing and drawdown
  • Sequence variation and recovery
  • Compounding under uncertainty

The Lab does not provide

  • Guaranteed profit or fixed returns
  • Predictions of the next trade
  • Signals, execution or fund management
  • A promise that capital will reach any target
Questions, answered

Before entering the Lab.

Is the original “100K to 100M” name a profit promise?

No. It is the original name of a probability thought experiment. It does not represent a promise, forecast or guaranteed wealth outcome.

What does the Probability Lab study?

It studies how a method may behave across a long sequence when win rate, payoff ratio, risk per round, position sizing, result order, drawdown and compounding interact.

Does a higher win rate always produce a better result?

No. A high win rate can still be weakened by poor payoff ratios, oversized risk or an adverse sequence. Long-term performance depends on the relationship between variables.

Is this investment advice?

No. All simulation and analysis are for education, research and decision reference only. They do not predict actual market outcomes.

QIWU 02 · PROBABILITY

Do not ask only whether the next trade will win.

Ask what happens when the same method is repeated across a long and uncertain sequence.
