Strategy Tester output is **historical simulation** on TradingView's data model. Slippage, spreads, fills, and live broker rules can differ. Not financial advice.

## What to open[​](#what-to-open "Direct link to What to open")

1. Add **AIMS Algo** to your chart (button above).
2. Open **Strategy Tester** at the bottom of TradingView.
3. Select a symbol and timeframe you actually trade or research.
4. Set a date range (multi-year windows help regime context; shorter windows help recent behaviour).
5. Review **Overview**, **Return details**, **Trades analysis**, and **Equity run-ups and drawdowns**.

## How to read the equity curve[​](#how-to-read-the-equity-curve "Direct link to How to read the equity curve")

* **Slope** — whether the simulated equity rose or fell over the selected window.
* **Drawdowns** — depth and duration of equity dips; compare to your personal risk tolerance.
* **Flat periods** — may be correct when the strategy had no valid mapped move.

Do not select inputs solely because one backtest window looks smooth.

## Before you change inputs to chase metrics[​](#before-you-change-inputs-to-chase-metrics "Direct link to Before you change inputs to chase metrics")

1. Confirm data quality for your symbol on TradingView.
2. Re-run with **default inputs** on a second symbol you know well.
3. Read the trade list — are losses clustered in one regime?
4. Only then adjust settings — see [Strategy settings](/indicators/aims-algo/docs/tradingview/settings.md).
