I Backtested TradingView’s Top Indicators – Here are the Best Tickers & Timeframes

I spent too much time backtesting some of the most hyped indicators on TradingView—so you don’t have to. I’ve got the **top-performing strategies** based on **Profit Factor, Kelly Criterion, and Win Ratio**.

* Indicators: Alphatrend, MACD, and Supertrend, Squeeze
* Types of option strategies backtested: long call/put, Debit spread, credit spread
* Timeframes: 30 min, 1h, 2h
* Tickers: QQQ, SPY, Mag7
* The option backtester used: [2moon.ai](http://2moon.ai)

*\*\*\*I didn't exclude earnings dates, stock splits etc, so that might have affected the results*

**Top 10 Strategies/tickers:**

1. **Squeeze-Long Call | Put-2h-rth – Ticker: AMZN**
* **Profit Factor:** 12.48
* **Win Ratio:** 42.86%
2.. **Alphatrend-Credit Spread-30min – Ticker: NVDA**
* **Profit Factor:** 2.88
* **Win Ratio:** 61.22%
* **Kelly Criterion:** 0.477
3. **Alphatrend-Credit Spread-2h – Ticker: TSLA**
* **Profit Factor:** 2.01
* **Win Ratio:** 65.52%
* **Kelly Criterion:** 0.484
4. **Alphatrend-Credit Spread-2h – Ticker: AAPL**
* **Profit Factor:** 2.17
* **Win Ratio:** 64.29%
* **Kelly Criterion:** 0.478
5. **Squeeze - Credit Spread-30min – Ticker: NVDA**
* **Profit Factor:** 1.89
* **Win Ratio:** 62.98%
* **Kelly Criterion:** 0.434
6. **Alphatrend-Credit Spread-1h – Ticker: AMZN**
* **Profit Factor:** 3.80
* **Win Ratio:** 54.55%
* **Kelly Criterion:** 0.426

# What Actually Works?

* **Squeeze setups on AMZN and GOOGL**
* **Alphatrend Credit Spreads on NVDA, TSLA, and AAPL** have solid returns with high win rates.
* **SPY on a 1H Credit Spread setup** has the best win ratio, but the profit factor is weak.
* **MACD** is meh, worth mentioning only with AMZN puts on 1h and 2h tf

Indicators are just tools. The real edge comes from risk management and actually having a plan

If you want me to backtest anything else, drop a comment.
