A scenario is not a prediction
A scenario asks what would happen if a set of conditions occurred. It does not say those conditions are likely.
This distinction matters because crypto narratives often turn imagined outcomes into implied forecasts.
Separate shocks by type
A practical scenario can separate price shock, liquidity shock, spread widening, fee changes, stablecoin depeg exposure, and leverage.
Separating inputs makes the stress test auditable. Visitors can see which assumption drives the result.
Record assumptions before the output
A scenario output is only as useful as the assumptions behind it. The tool should display inputs, formulas, and limitations in the same view as the result.
That transparency makes it easier to rerun a scenario when market conditions or portfolio exposure changes.
Use results for preparation
The right question is not whether the number is perfect. It is whether the portfolio plan still makes sense under the stress conditions the visitor selected.
If one scenario creates unacceptable damage, the next step is reducing exposure, leverage, concentration, or execution risk.
Decision rule
Use this guide as a checklist, not as financial advice. Confirm current platform terms, local eligibility, and risk limits before opening or funding any account.
