The Future Simulations tool starts with you specifying how many “Simulation Years” to compute, which is how far out into the future you would like the tool to project your portfolio returns. You also specify how many Monte Carlo runs you want to make, which is just the number of simulations scenarios to run. Each simulation is independent. After all the simulations are run, the results are compiled together to show the range of outcomes achieved.
The next thing to specify is the Sample Period, which is the historical period of time from which Stock Rover will sample data from which to simulate future performance. This is explained in more detail below.
There are additional settings you can specify, such as those related to bull/bear sentiment, inflation, withdrawals, and more. These settings are all outlined in the Settings section below.
