How to read the equity curve​

  • Slope — whether 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 setup.

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

Capture a snapshot for your records​

When comparing runs or contacting support:

  1. Screenshot the Overview tab (net profit, max drawdown, percent profitable).
  2. Screenshot the equity curve panel and any Return details / Trades analysis tabs you changed.
  3. Note symbol, timeframe, date range, and whether inputs differ from default.

Before you change inputs to chase metrics​

  1. Confirm data quality for your Nasdaq-100 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.
