Introduction
What is TradeSearcher?
TradeSearcher is a research tool for finding and comparing TradingView strategy backtests across crypto, stocks, forex, and futures.
The index changes as reports are processed and quality checks evolve. Current platform totals are published on the TradeSearcher home page instead of being copied into documentation.
But, what is a TradingView strategy?
A TradingView strategy is a script similar to a technical indicator but with a fixed set of rules that define when to buy or sell a given asset. A TradingView strategy shows buy and sell arrows on the chart to indicate when to enter and exit a position.
The advantage of a TradingView strategy is that it can be automated, and the strategy can be backtested on historical data to determine how it would have performed in the past (ROI, Drawdown, etc.).
How does it work?
TradeSearcher uses an automated pipeline to collect strategy reports, calculate comparable metrics, and apply quality checks before eligible results are ranked. Historical rankings are research evidence, not a prediction of future performance.
Where are the strategies found?
TradeSearcher indexes strategies referenced on TradingView. Source availability varies: some scripts expose Pine source, while others are protected or private. The product shows the known availability for each strategy; access to a backtest does not grant access to third-party source code.
Are the strategies tested?
We use automation to test strategies across multiple symbols, markets, timeframes, and parameter contexts. Coverage varies by strategy. Automated quality and repainting checks can flag evidence, but they cannot prove that a strategy is safe or suitable for live trading.
How to find the best strategies?
To find the best strategies, you can use the search and enter any symbol or asset (e.g. BTCUSDT, SPY, AAPL, etc.) and discover the best performing backtests and strategies.
If you have a premium subscription, you can also explore the Top Backtests and Top Strategies sections to discover the best performing backtests and strategies on a whole market like Cryptocurrencies, Stocks, Indices, etc.
What is the benefit of using TradeSearcher?
TradeSearcher reduces repetitive collection and comparison work. You remain responsible for validating the source, assumptions, execution constraints, and live behavior of any candidate.
How can these strategies be used?
The best way to use these strategies is either for daily trading, by adding them to your chart on TradingView, providing you with buy and sell arrows to take action, or to automate (see automation) your trading with a high-performing strategy.
