SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Interpret Monte Carlo backtest results and deliver a structured verdict by applying the full decision framework to MC outputs, ensuring consistent risk assessment and deployment readiness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads mc_report.md and the accompanying reports to apply the five-point decision framework (sample size sanity, edge persistence, risk of ruin, PF-based sequencing, and drawdown budgeting).
  • Incorporates optional sizing guidance from mc_sizing.md if present, and outputs actionable deployment recommendations with explicit caveats.
  • Produces a deployment-ready verdict including a five-check table, consecutive loss planning notes, Return CI interpretation, and known limitations.

Quick Start

Run the interpret-mc-results skill on the Monte Carlo output directory to generate a structured, deployment-ready verdict.

FAQPage Schema
How do I interpret Monte Carlo backtest results for a decisive trading deployment verdict?

To interpret Monte Carlo backtest results, apply a five-point decision framework covering sample size sanity, edge persistence, risk of ruin, profit factor sequencing, and P5 drawdown against initial capital to produce a structured deployment verdict.

What metrics should I check when analyzing Monte Carlo simulation outputs for trading strategies?

When analyzing Monte Carlo outputs, check sample size adequacy, edge robustness, risk of ruin probability, profit factor-based sequencing interpretation, and P5 drawdown levels against the initial capital to ensure comprehensive risk assessment.

How do I use Monte Carlo risk of ruin and drawdown data to decide if my trading strategy is ready for live deployment?

Use Monte Carlo risk of ruin and P5 drawdown data to evaluate deployment readiness by comparing drawdown budgets against initial capital, ensuring edge persistence, and verifying sample size sanity before generating a final deployment verdict.

Can I incorporate position sizing guidance into my Monte Carlo performance analysis?

You can incorporate position sizing guidance into Monte Carlo performance analysis by reading an optional sizing configuration file, allowing the decision framework to output actionable sizing recommendations alongside the deployment verdict and caveats.

What are the known limitations of applying a Monte Carlo decision framework to backtest results?

Known limitations of applying a Monte Carlo decision framework include dependencies on historical data assumptions, the exclusion of real-world market impact from random sequencing, and the need to explicitly document consecutive loss planning and confidence interval interpretation caveats.
