## How to read the equity curve[​](#how-to-read-the-equity-curve "Direct link to 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[​](#capture-a-snapshot-for-your-records "Direct link to 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[​](#before-you-change-inputs-to-chase-metrics "Direct link to 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](/indicators/nasdaq-strategy/docs/tradingview/settings.md).
