The sample position trader
Our sample wins 33.3% of its trades, each winner is 4 times the risk, each loser is the full risk, and it takes about three trades a month: an average of 0.66R profit per trade, where R is the amount risked. About three trades a month, a third of them winners at four times the risk. Each trade carries a large edge, and there are very few of them. More on the sample and how it does across all firms.

- Time and inactivity rules
- Three trades a month is too few for a 30-day limit. Some firms also close accounts that go weeks without a trade.
- It takes months
- A typical pass in our runs took months. Futures accounts with a monthly fee charge for every one of them.

How this was worked out
Each style is a made-up sample trader, not a real track record. We set the figures so that every sample makes the same average profit: 0.1 times its risk per trading day, about 2R a month. They differ only in shape: how often they win, how big the winners are and how many trades they take. That way a difference between two styles comes from how the rules treat the shape, not from one sample simply being better. The exception is the grid and martingale sample, which has no edge at all: adding to losing trades changes the shape of the results but cannot create an edge.
Each sample was run 1,000 times against each account's published rules, at nine trade sizes from 0.13% to 1% of the account, and we show the size that did best. It is the same engine as the test centre. How the simulation works.
What this leaves out. Every sample but that one has a real edge and never breaks its own rules, which is why these figures are far higher than the share of real traders who pass. There are no spreads, commissions, swaps or slippage. Every winner and loser is the same size. And it only tests the rules in the table: profit targets, loss limits, trading days, time limits, consistency and payout terms, not rules on news, weekends or hold times. A strategy with no edge fails everywhere, whatever its style.
