[@rtrbs8383]

Awesome and thanks for video...Do we have any option custom date range ...If I want to test the strategy from particular date

[@wallyg8020]

[@wallyg8020]

If you buy a stock and knowing that's going down how do you short it in this platform??

[@KannasKaleidoscope]

Very informative and interesting! I love exploring this with various time frames and inputs and properties which make a lot of sense along with the use of the powerful indicators as well.

[@capguy123]

Simple, clear and powerful, thank you!

[@TradingView]

You're welcome!

[@ignaciob6823]

[@jeestudent6601]

Where do you add leverage in the properties section ?

[@SelantoApps]

Is it possible to automate future trades with one of these strategies?

[@aketo8082]

Thank you. I like the idea of the strategy tester. Why do I see losses under "List of Trades"? I don't have a drawdown. My strategy, check every day after close, close of the trade is always in profit, so normally I expect no minus values. I want to test without any fees, commission or costs. Checkbox close candle is activated. Second issue, the entry is to early. For example the signal is yesterday, the entry should be today. But in strategy tester is the entry yesterday. I assume I do something wrong, but at the moment I can't find a solution. Thank you for any Information and hint.

[@stevevinck4452]

Can you limit the backtesting to a set time frame ? say I wanted to test the strategy from 2019 to 2020 and not the complete time frame .

That's what I would like to do too!

When i use it for real trading, is it buying and selling real crypto or just suggesting if the price will go up or down?

[@AtomicKepler]

TradingView, when will this feature be usable for bot trading?

[@bluethunder8529]

How do you change the strategy?

[@makeITcount2]

Is tradingview considering to let its customers have an option to purchase historic tick data for proper backtesting because on short time frames there is simply not enough data even on Premium plan?

[@TradingView]

Check out the new and upcoming Deep Backtesting features we are working on

[@makeITcount2]

@@TradingView thank you for getting back but those only work in conjunction with a strategy tester. How about the manual backtesting of strategies. its really a missed opportunity for TV to not offer downloadable historic data even at a price. That drives many of us to dedicated backtesting programs that do not have the more intuitive interface of TV.The way I see this implemented is similar to the data packages from exchanges. It could be a chargeable item for those who want to manually backtest strategies.

[@ormichaely6103]

as a day trader how can i test my strategy over one minute candels for a long period of time?

[@tobyz1]

Can TradingView's screener be set to pick up activated trading signals? I'd like to filter the full U.S. stock universe for 'Long' signals for a specific strategy, e.g., Technical Ratings Strategy?

[@autonate_ai]

How do I set the start and end time?

Hello, I have a problem renewing the subscription?

[@juanc3242]

Strategy tester is great. What I don't see is the rate of return.

[@mdoerkse]

Nice video. I'm trying to understand what the margin settings actually mean in the strategy properties. I think it is saying "I need this much margin or else the exchange won't let me place a trade". Is that right? If so, then if I set the margin to, say 50%. Does that mean that if I try to enter a position with $100 then I need to have at least an additional $50 in order to successfully enter the trade?

[@callmevodka8318]
