Best SMA Finder

How it works

The script conducts extensive backtesting by examining hundreds of SMA lengths ranging from 10 to 1000. It runs individual tests for each length using either Long Only or Buy & Sell strategies.

During testing, it calculates key performance metrics including total trades, Profit Factor, and Win Rate. A custom Robustness Score is computed by integrating these metrics, which helps rank and evaluate different SMA configurations objectively

Why it may be useful

This tool eliminates guesswork in selecting moving average parameters by providing data-driven insights. Traders can avoid subjective parameter selection and rely on quantitative analysis.

The script offers transparency by showing detailed performance metrics and highlighting the most statistically robust SMA length. It helps traders optimize their trend-following strategies with empirical evidence rather than intuition or random selection

When to explore it

This script is most effective when traders want to systematically optimize their trend-following strategies across different markets and timeframes. It works best for swing and trend traders seeking a methodical approach to SMA selection.

Ideal for markets with clear trend characteristics like stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies. Most suitable when historical data is abundant and market conditions are relatively consistent
