This simulation is based on the Burton Malkiel coin toss experiment from "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" (1973).

Each candle is a coin flip: heads = price goes up, tails = price goes down. The direction of each candle is completely independent — no memory, no patterns, just pure randomness.

The remarkable result: trends, support/resistance, double tops, and every pattern traders see emerge naturally from pure randomness. Malkiel showed this chart to a technical analyst who couldn't tell it was fake.

"A blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper's financial pages could select a portfolio that would do just as well as one carefully selected by experts."
