tradingview backtester is not as bad as people say

I have heard many comments on here that “Backtesting is useless”, “tv backtester isnt accurate” or all that, and based on 1.5 years of making an absurd amount of pinescript strategies most of which suck and running them live through webhooks on tradovate, I say that not only does tv backtester not suck, it’s also pretty useful

If coded right you can make the backtest be almost perfectly accurate (fees and slippage) to the actual results on a live account

Granted if you grab a random indicator off the trending and it has a great backtest it is most likely not accurate. And components such as renko, trailing sl, and higher timeframes are not accurate

Tv backtester is incredibly useful in knowing to expect if a strategy will be profitable, what drawdown you can expect and what your average profit should be and save so much time and you can get 5 years of data in an instant.

tell me why you don’t like tv backtester and I will smoke ur ass in comments
