How to add it to your site
- Copy the code Use the copy button in the Embed code box so nothing is lost to line wrapping. It is a single iframe tag and it does not need anything else.
- Open the page you want it on In WordPress add a Custom HTML block, in Wix use the Embed HTML element, in Squarespace use a Code block, and on a hand-built site paste it straight into your HTML.
- Paste and publish The widget appears immediately. If you see an empty space instead, your editor has stripped the iframe tag, which the HTML embed guide explains how to work around.
- Adjust the look if you want to Add the parameters in the table below to the iframe URL to change the theme, the accent colour or the height. Nothing needs to be configured on our side.
Customisation options
| Parameter | Values | What it does |
|---|---|---|
theme | auto, light, dark | Default follows the reader's own system setting, so the widget looks right on a dark site and a light one without you choosing. |
accent | Six hex digits, e.g. accent=1A56DB | Recolours the header bar and the primary button to match your brand. |
header | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 to hide the title bar when your page already has a heading above the widget. |
breakdown | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 to hide the calculation breakdown for a more compact block. |
corners | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 for square corners if your design has no rounding anywhere else. |
width | full | Removes the 520px maximum so the widget stretches to its container. |
Parameters are added to the iframe URL as a normal query string, for example
/embed/monte-carlo-account-survival-calculator.html?theme=dark&accent=1A56DB&header=0. The
widget builder lets you set all of them visually and hands you the finished code.
Why embed the Monte Carlo Account Survival Simulator
Backtests show one path, and markets deliver a different one every time. The widget runs a thousand randomised sequences of the reader's win rate, risk and reward and returns the chance of hitting a drawdown limit before a profit target. Strategy and risk management content can show readers the distribution behind a single expected return.
What the widget calculates
A Monte Carlo simulator runs your trading strategy statistics through thousands of randomised trade sequences, then calculates the probability that your account survives a given number of trades without hitting your drawdown limit. It converts win rate, reward-to-risk, and risk-per-trade into a survival probability - giving you a more honest view of account durability than a single backtest can provide.
The embedded version keeps the inputs and the result. The full Monte Carlo Account Survival Simulator on TradeAnswers adds worked examples, the method behind the numbers and a long FAQ.
