The five-step wizard that builds your projection and crash test.
Step 1 — Your money
Simulator, step 1
Enter your starting amount, how much you add each month, and how many years you want to project. Everything compounds monthly. All boxes start at zero so nothing is assumed for you.
Step 2 — Your mix
Simulator, step 2
Split your money across the asset types: US stocks, international stocks, bonds, cash, real estate/REITs, commodities and crypto. Each one has its own expected return and its own sensitivity to a crash. Templates such as Classic 60/40, Three-Fund, All-Weather and 100% S&P 500 fill the mix in for you.
Step 3 — Global stocks
Simulator, step 3
Search real tickers and add specific holdings with a quantity and a purchase price, so your cost basis is used in the projection rather than a guess. Prices come from live market data with historical fallbacks when the feed is busy.
Step 4 — Crash builder
Simulator, step 4
Add one or more market crashes: choose the year it starts, how deep the drop is, how long it lasts and how long recovery takes. Crashes can overlap. You can also model behaviour — panic selling during the fall, or buying the dip — which is usually the biggest difference between two otherwise identical plans.
Run Simulation
Simulator, step 5
Results stay hidden until you press “Run Simulation”. Runs are free and unlimited. Going back to an earlier step hides the results again until you run it once more.
Results chart
Simulator results
Your balance over time. Rising stretches are drawn green and falling stretches red, so crashes and recoveries are obvious at a glance.
How it got there (step-by-step math)
Below the results chart
A plain-English, line-by-line breakdown of the calculation: contributions in, growth earned, the crash damage, the recovery, and the final figure — plus the yearly growth rate (CAGR) in real terms.

Press “Analyze Portfolio” and you get your main vulnerability, a recovery estimate and three concrete action steps written for your specific numbers. Analyses are saved to your account, and “Export PDF Report” downloads a copy.
