Script from: TradingViewSwingTrend followingBreakout

The “Strategy Template - V2” integrates advanced trend-following mechanisms by using Weekly and Daily Donchian channels to establish trend bias for precise entry and exit points. It elevates the original template with complex conditions for market, stop, limit, and stop-limit order types, alongside a considered approach to exits and take profits. This strategy not only acts as a fully operational system but also serves as a customizable template for developing individual strategies.

Statistical edge

Not meaningful: repainting inflates every backtest statistic of this script.

Quality gate

None of the 98 backtests with more than 15 trades passes our quality gate.

Robust score

32/100, below the median of 52 for ranked strategies.

Why repainting matters

A repainting script uses values that were not known when the bar closed. Its backtest trades on that future information, so live results diverge from what the backtest shows, often by a wide margin.
