Differences in backtesting between Tradingview and ctrader
Differences in backtesting between Tradingview and ctrader

Hello,
i have converted a real huge pine script to ctrader. When backtesting with different time ranges, i see a big difference between the backtest results on TV and ctrader. The bigger the time range the bigger the difference. Even pairs in profit when backtesting in TV, are in ctrader in loss.
I have tested time ranges of 3, 6 month and 5 years. In tradinview the 3 month range with "normal" backtesting and the higher ranges with the deep backtesting future. I know it´s still beta.
Before i start to go again to compare both scripts, has someone else this experience? Which one is more trustable, without doing month of testing in a demo account?

Hi mindfulness,
That's expected because TradingView does not really backtest. It just post processes information by connectiing dots on prepopulated charts. So many times the results are way off.
