For traders who got sold the shiny toilet

You were some guru’sexit liquidity.

Bought a prop-firm PineScript, signal room, or “funded account” miracle that smelled like money and drained like a gas-station toilet? Upload the TradingView trade list. We pressure-wash it against real firm rules before you buy another reset-fee hamster-wheel ticket.

Historical simulation. Not financial advice. No pass guarantees. No guru incense. No money-printing bullshit.
The uncomfortable truth

Maybe you didn't have a discipline problem. Maybe you bought a lacquered turd of a backtest dressed up as a prop-firm strategy.

The screenshots looked clean. The Discord sounded holy. The seller swore it was “prop-firm ready.” Then daily loss limits, trailing drawdown, consistency rules, slippage, and the reset button crawled out of the drain with a knife.

That is why the Orphanage exists: not to dunk on people who got burned, but to give them a room where the math gets the microphone before marketing hoses the place down with screenshot confetti and discount-code cologne.

What the reset loop feels likeLedger
Attempt #1 — daily loss limit, day 3−$165
Attempt #2 — “this time I’ll size down,” famous last fart−$165
Attempt #3 — trailing DD, one bad afternoon−$150
Attempt #4 — consistency rule hiding in the haunted footnotes−$165
Spent learning what a free autopsy would've screamed−$645
What the Orphanage is

A halfway house for cursed little backtests.

The calculator is the first plunger. The community is the point: a no-guru place to bring scripts, CSVs, firm rules, and hard lessons without getting sold another fantasy in a fake Rolex font.

No shame for getting burned

You were marketed to. That does not make you dumb; it means some funnel goblin found your pain point and sold it a tiny suit.

Receipts over screenshots

Bring the TradingView List of Trades, not the victory-lap JPEG. CSVs get math. Screenshots get the janitor’s mop and side-eye.

No guru daycare

No signal worship, no “funded in 30 days” lullabies, no grown adults yelling “lock in” over a martingale with a spray-tan logo.

If we can't tell, we say so

Missing data, account-state sizing, or fantasy fills do not get a confident number in a tuxedo. They get a stop sign and a bucket.

What honest looks like

The claim, the math, and the rule that kicks it in the teeth.

A vendor can show you a beautiful equity curve. So can a raccoon with crayons if you let it pick the start date. We show whether that curve survives the actual challenge rules: daily loss, trailing drawdown, consistency, slippage, and missing data.

 diagnostic · simulated 10,000 attempts complete
Topstep 50K — Combine
23% honest pass rate
The marketing claim cartwheels into the porta-potty on the daily loss limit — 4 runs out of 5.
Failed — daily loss limit breach61%
Failed — trailing max drawdown13%
Failed — consistency rule3%
Passed — target hit, rules intact23%

Translation: the idea may have teeth, but the sizing is trying to fight a $2,000 daily leash with a folding chair and no pants. Cut risk-per-trade ~40% and the same strategy simulates near 58%. We'll show that math too. Past hypothetical performance is not indicative of jack.

 diagnostic · honest limits halted
And when we can't tell you — we say so.

Your strategy sizes off live account equity. A backtest doesn't carry a firm's real-time balance, so any pass % we printed here would be a fortune cookie wearing a lab coat and sitting in toilet water.

CANNOT EVALUATE · reason: account-state-dependent sizing. Re-export with fixed contracts and we'll run it for real.
No fake certainty, no scented-candle bullshit
How it works

Turn the marketing claim into a pass-rate autopsy.

No account link. No P&L striptease. Just the CSV you already have — and cold arithmetic against the rules firms actually enforce.

Export the trade list

Export the List of Trades from the TradingView Strategy Tester. Drag it in. That is the whole setup — no broker login, no guru password séance, no velvet-rope nonsense.

Pick the firm rules

Choose the prop-firm account. We simulate thousands of challenge attempts against the actual profit target, trailing max drawdown, daily loss limit and consistency rules.

Read the autopsy

One clean pass rate, plus the fail reasons — the exact rule that drags most runs behind the shed. If the file cannot prove the claim, we do not smear lipstick on it.

36 36 futures prop firms modeled — Topstep, Apex, MyFundedFutures, FundedNext, Earn2Trade, Tradeify, TradeDay, Legends, Alpha and more. Rules tracked as firms quietly move the fine print like a turd under a rug.
Free vs. Paid

Cheaper than one dumbass reset.

The free autopsy stays free — one firm, one honest number, no card. The paid engine is for when you want the whole ugly colonoscopy, not just the headline obituary.

The differentiator

We shove ourselves through the same wood chipper.

Everyone in this space sells hope in a shiny bucket. We sell the number — and sometimes that number is bad news you needed before you fed the reset-fee raccoon again.

No guaranteed-pass cosplay

A 71% pass rate still means 29 runs in 100 fail. Anyone selling certainty in this business is selling a parachute made of wet paper vibes.

No screenshot priesthood

We do not accept cherry-picked equity curves as holy scripture. Bring the CSV. Let the rules bite it in public.

No juiced numbers

We model slippage and real fills, not the frictionless fantasy your backtest ran in. We won't round a bad number up so you feel warm in the pants and pay us.

No firm kickbacks

Nobody pays us to point you at their challenge. We take no firm kickbacks — that's why we can call a stinky setup stinky.

Our own PineScripts go through the wood chipper too

If the Orphanage sells its own PineScripts, they have to survive the same firm rules and public standards first — not just get shoved through our own calculator while we honk a clown horn and call it science.
