### Stress test (Monte Carlo)

How the result holds when the same trades arrive in another order.

Bootstrap resampling with replacement: 2000 resampled books, each drawing 30 trade returns independently and uniformly, with replacement, from the 30 this account made.

| 5th | -45.04% | -16.59% |
| 25th | -16.57% | -24.27% |
| 50th | +14.31% | -32.44% |
