How real is the tape?

Every chart in the TradeBeacon simulator is generated by the same tick engine running in your browser right now. This page runs it fresh for 30 days of 1-minute candles and measures the output against statistical properties every real market exhibits — fat tails, volatility clustering, near-zero return autocorrelation, realistic daily ranges, wicks on most bars. Reload or hit Regenerate to prove it isn't cherry-picked.
