Backtesting indicators is easy, just add the following line of code to your script:
plot(longEntry ? 1 : shortEntry ? -1 : longTP ? 0.5 : shortTP ? -0.5 : 0, color=na, editable=false, title='Backtest')
These numbers are defined as constants in the backtester source-code.
After adding this indicator to your chart:
1. Open Settings
2. Select supported indicator to backtest
3. Select if you want to enter Longs and/or Shorts
4. Open the 'Strategy Tester' at the bottom to check the performance
Remember:
plot(longEntry ? 1 : shortEntry ? -1 : longTP ? 0.5 : shortTP ? -0.5 : 0, color=na, editable=false, title='Backtest')
These numbers are defined as constants in the backtester source-code.
After adding this indicator to your chart:
1. Open Settings
2. Select supported indicator to backtest
3. Select if you want to enter Longs and/or Shorts
4. Open the 'Strategy Tester' at the bottom to check the performance
Remember:
- past performance is not indicative of future results
- repainting indicators will create wrong/unrealistic results
