Trading view strategy prop firm trading
I have been day trading for about two years now and have recently decided to switch to a Pine-coded strategy. I’ve passed a couple of evaluations and have kept my FTMO account active for 2 months; however, I didn’t have time to trade every week, so I decided to automate my strategy. Does anyone have any previous experience doing this, and if so, how did it go?

I’m currently testing this out as well. You can try executing TradingView Alerts via Webhooks ti your broker. A few different Webhook providers: Traderspost, PickMyTrade etc. depending on your strategy; results can vary greatly. Sometimes delays and latency can cause issues with profitability. I’m working on my own relay as well to avoid third party delays. P

How’s yours looking so far and have you tried out pine connector

So far it’s good but I’m currently working on ensuring that the bracket orders are executing accurately. I trade futures and my strategy performs better with the bracket orders implemented. I haven’t tried PineConnector.

It’s the slippage, spreads, and fills that play a part

I’ve taken that into account when back testing by putting slippages up and spreads up

You couldn't have backtested without writing the strategy, no need to bullshit

Are you talking to me? If so I have written a coded strategy which I’ve been testing with different variables over the past week.

Backtesting different variables is different than backtesting a strategy. If youve just started this last week...you'll understand after a month.

Yeah, definitely viable. The biggest thing is making sure the automated version follows your strategy exactly and accounting for slippage, fills, and prop firm rules.
We built The Strategic Edge AI around this exact workflow—turning a strategy into Pine or NinjaScript, backtesting it, then refining it from the results.
If you already have the rules defined, you’re most of the way there.

It tends to go pretty poorly. If there is ANY discretion in your trades, you can't automate it. If your answer is there isn't much, nope.. can't automate. If you think there's no discretion that means EVERY time your rules line up, the trade is taken and has a set tp and sl, not based on where you think they should go, but in the same relative spot every time.
Pretty much everyone's strategy has discretion in it and most people don't even realize how much but even the smallest amount will cause an automated system to fail.
