These are backtest results, not claims. Everything on this page is the output of simulated backtesting over the last 12 months of historical market data (Aug 2025 – Jul 2026) using a Velox research configuration. No live trading occurred, no real money was at risk, and these figures are not indicative of current or future market results. Live performance can and will differ. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.
The $400k Simulated Account, in Full Detail
One simulated $400,000 prop-style account, followed for the entire backtested year under a two-phase rulebook (5% then 10% targets, 4% daily loss limit, 10% trailing drawdown), with position sizing compounding off each day's closing balance. This was the highest-return run of the study — including the three failed assessment attempts it took to get there.
The year, event by event
Nothing omitted: every killed attempt, every phase pass, and the date the account was funded.

Funded-stage earnings, month by month
Every month of the funded stage, compounded daily. Two months lost money; they are as much a part of the result as March.

Funded earnings by pair, per quarter
Quarters count from the account's start (Aug 2025); the account was in its assessment phases for most of Q1, so funded earnings there are zero. EURUSD's funded contribution was negative for the year — we publish that, because a breakdown that hides the losers isn't a breakdown.
| Pair | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | in assessment | −$1,562 | +$19,789 | −$22,150 | −$3,923 |
| GBPUSD | in assessment | +$7,882 | +$46,706 | −$7,025 | +$47,563 |
| USDJPY | in assessment | +$14,589 | +$25,502 | +$9,949 | +$50,041 |
| AUDUSD | in assessment | +$24,436 | +$32,686 | +$19,832 | +$76,954 |

How to read this honestly
- This is one simulated account on one year of history. It was the study's highest-return run precisely because the funded stage caught the year's strongest stretch. The median simulated account earned materially less; other years — and the future — will differ.
- The failures are the story too. Four killed attempts and roughly three months of exam grind preceded a single day of funded earnings. Q4's near-flat +$606 came after a −$22k EURUSD quarter.
- Simulation limits: modeled fills (1.2-pip spread, stop-first), end-of-day drawdown tracking, assessment fees and profit splits not included.
- Research configuration — currently in our validation pipeline; not the shipped product's default behaviour today. The live feed remains the only real performance record.
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE: these results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown. Forex trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor.
