Backtesting Module

This strategy replicates the default behaviour of the TradingView "Backtesting Module". It trades a simple moving average crossover: a long position is opened when the 50-period SMA crosses above the 200-period SMA, and a short position is opened when the opposite crossover occurs. Trading is allowed only between the specified start and end times.

Details

  • Long/Short: Both.
  • Exit Criteria: Opposite crossover or leaving the time interval.
  • Stops: None.
  • Default Values:
    • FastLength = 50
    • SlowLength = 200
    • StartTime = 1 Jan 1980
    • EndTime = 31 Dec 2050
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1)
  • Filters:
