Monthly-returns — Indicators and Strategies

Simple/Compounded Returns & Drawdowns Table Very excited to bring this script to the public. This is a very useful table that displays the performance of any strategy you give it in a more detailed view. It runs on all timeframes and at any position on the chart with the replay function. It also updates on tick changes. The table consists of three modes: Simple Equity, Compound Equity and Drawdown. Simple Equity – shows the change in equity for every month and year. It is calculated by finding the difference in initial equity at the beginning of the month/year and the end of the month/year. The table will thus display strategy performance in blocks of time that are not correlated. It is an excellent way to see individual month/year performance from start to finish but it may not represent true change in equity over time. For example, let's assume that 100% of equity is used on every trade for simplicity. If a loss of 50% is made in the first month and a profit of 100% is made in the next month, the strategy will show 50% profit for the year. This aggregate value might be helpful to know for testing purposes, but in reality, the account is actually at break-even for the year (Initial Equity * 0.5 * 2 = Initial Equity). Compound Equity – shows compounded change in equity for every month and year. It is calculated by finding the difference in starting equity when the strategy is run and equity at the end of the month/year. The table will thus display the true strategy performance – compounded equity at the end of each month/year. Drawdown – shows max drawdown for every month and year. It is calculated by finding the difference between the highest equity achieved for the month/year and the trough in equity for the same month/year. Notice: strategy tester might have a max drawdown value higher than any of the drawdown values in the table. This is because the strategy tester calculates the difference between the highest and lowest equity for the entire strategy, whereas the table displays drawdowns for months and years only. Sometimes, the max drawdown for the year will also be the max drawdown for the entire strategy; hence the two values will be the same. To use this table with your own strategy, simply find " PLACE YOUR STRATEGY CODE HERE " at the bottom of the script and place your strategy code there.

Monthly Returns in Strategies with Market Benchmark This is a modified version of this excellent script Monthly Returns in PineScript Strategues by QuantNomad I liked and used the script but wanted to see how strategy performed vs market on each month/year. So I am sharing back. The modification consists in adding Market or Buy & Hold performance between parenthesis inside each cell to better see how strategy performed vs market. Also, 3 red levels and 3 green levels have been used : For green : 1/ Light when strategy pnl > 0 but < market 2/ medium when strategy pnl > 0 and > market 3/ Dark when strategy pnl > 0 and market < 0 or pnl > market x 2 Same logic in the opposite direction for red. The strategy provided here is just a showcase of how to use the table in pine script. Disclaimer Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting. This post and the script don’t provide any financial advice.

Monthly Returns in PineScript Strategies I'm not 100% satisfied with the strategy performance output I receive from TradingView. Quite often I want to see something that is not available by default. I usually export raw trades/metrics from TradingView and then do additional analysis manually. But with tables, you can build additional metrics and tools for your strategies quite easily. This script will just show a table with monthly/yearly performance of your script. Quite a lot of traders/investors used to look at returns like that. Also, it might help you to identify periods of time when your strategy performed good/bad than expected and try to analyze that better. The script is very simple and I believe you can easily apply it to your own strategies. Disclaimer Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
