Limits and responsibility

Can simulated trading results predict real performance?

First, the short version

No. A simulation can show how you behaved under its data and assumptions. It cannot reproduce every part of a real market, including liquidity, slippage, costs, and the pressure of real money. Treat the result as material for review, not an estimate of future returns.

Who this is for

Read this before treating a good training score as evidence about real trading. The score describes one practice record and needs cautious interpretation.

What to take away

  • Simulation is a learning environment, not a forecast.
  • Good results still need cautious interpretation.

How Zinuto helps

Look at process quality

Zinuto makes it easier to review whether a decision followed the rule you wrote.

Separate score from habit

A result can be lucky; repeated behavior is more useful to inspect.

What to watch

  • No training score should be treated as investment advice.
  • Real trading decisions remain outside Zinuto.

Next step

  • Review why a result happened before caring whether it was positive.
  • Track repeated mistakes across practice runs instead of chasing one score.

Start with one short replay

Pick a sample, hide the later bars, make a few decisions, and open the archive afterward. That single run shows how Zinuto records practice.
