To begin using the Future Simulation tool, you must first specify the “Simulation Years”—the number of years into the future you wish to project your portfolio returns. You will also define the number of Monte Carlo runs, which represents the total count of independent scenarios the tool will model. Each run is unique and independent; once complete, the results are aggregated to display the statistical range of possible outcomes.
Next, you will select the Sample Period. This is the specific historical timeframe from which Stock Rover will draw data to simulate future performance. Choosing different periods allows you to test your portfolio against various historical market regimes. This is explained in greater detail in the sections below.
Additional configuration options are available to further refine your model, including settings for bull/bear sentiment, inflation, withdrawals, and rebalancing frequency. These are all covered in the Settings section of this guide.
