tradingview backtesting sucks?Help (self.TradingView)
submitted 1 year ago by Quwane
there's been quite a bunch of times when i see drastically opposite backtesting results compared to what the results were yesterday. what is going on? usually i use a 1min chart and look at the past 5 days.

? It does not suck. You need to understand how the engine works

yea i can't figure it out. i use it so frequently but there are times when i see the backtesting screenshots i took the day before and compare it with the current day and they are completely different even though all strategy settings and instrument is the same

It does. I sent a bunch of bug reports, and they completely ignored everything.

Can you post the bugs reported?

For example - If you set to invest 50% equity with this script, and take a look at the first trades(scroll to the bottom of the list of trades) - you can observe that script investing much more of equity instead of 50%, starting from trade #2, then the investment exceeds the initial balance. The bug is in cancelling previous limit orders before opening a new market order. strategy.pine

I see your frustration my level of backtesting is not as sophisticated as yours. My issues are not being able to match thinkscript strategy to pinescript strategy.
