How to Use the RR Simulator in FX Replay

Overview

The RR Simulator helps you answer two critical questions:

  • “What if I changed the risk-reward ratio of my strategy?”
  • “How would that impact my trading results?”

This tool takes your real trades and shows how performance would shift if you had aimed for different take profit (TP) levels — without changing your entry or stop loss (SL).

✅ What the RR Simulator Analyzes

To run accurate simulations, the RR Simulator only includes trades that meet this key condition:

  • The trade had a clearly defined Stop Loss (SL) at the moment of execution.

⚠️ Important:

  • Trades without an SL at entry are excluded.
  • SLs added after entry are ignored.

🔍 What You Can Simulate

Once trades qualify, the RR Simulator allows you to see how your results would change at different fixed risk-reward (RR) multiples.

Example:
If you normally trade with a 2R target, you can simulate what would happen with 3R, 5R, or beyond.

The simulator calculates key performance metrics, including:

  • Win rate (breakeven trades ignored)
  • Total profit/loss
  • Profit factor
    • Sum of wins ÷ sum of losses
    • A profit factor between 1.75 – 4.0 suggests strong profitability without overfitting
  • Average drawdown

👉 Results are based on your real execution history, showing what could have happened if you let trades run longer or closed them earlier.

Note: The simulator requires at least 3 trades recorded, but insights are more reliable with larger sample sizes.

📊 Why the RR Simulator Matters

This isn’t just a theoretical backtest. It’s a data-driven tool that helps you:

  • Fine-tune your strategy
  • Compare higher vs. lower TP targets
  • Balance risk, reward, and consistency
  • Validate strategy changes before risking real capital

Whether you’re experimenting with 1R, 2R, 3R, or stretch targets like 5R–10R, the RR Simulator provides clear, unbiased feedback using your own trades.

🚫 What the RR Simulator Does NOT Do

  • ❌ It does not simulate new trade entries
  • ❌ It does not include trades without an initial SL
  • ❌ It does not fabricate results — it only models alternate outcomes based on your original SL and the market’s movement

👉 With the RR Simulator, you can explore “what if” scenarios, uncover hidden strengths in your strategy, and make smarter decisions with real evidence from your own trading history.
