Backtest any Indicator v5

How it works

The backtest indicator works by allowing traders to select any existing indicator and use its buy/sell signals as entry points for potential trades. Users can specify detailed parameters like take profit and stop loss levels, initial capital, trade quantity, and exchange fees.

Traders first modify their chosen indicator script to plot the trade condition variable, then add the backtest script to their chart and configure settings. The system then simulates trades based on the indicator's signals, marking each trade with color-coded backgrounds, directional labels, and performance metrics.
