I Backtested TradingView’s Top Indicators – here are BEST and WORST performers

Again, I spent a lot of time backtesting top indicators on TradingView because I have no life. I judged results based on **Profit Factor, Kelly Criterion, and Win Ratio**.

\*you can see my previous post with other top indicators [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/options/comments/1ilz2y0/i_backtested_tradingviews_top_indicators_here_are/)

* Indicators: MA, ATR (cross), ADX, PSAR
* 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* (but I look at the combination of the kpi's to minimize skewed data)
