What a reader needs to run the Daily Rank Ladder on TradingView and read the Strategy Tester.
What is required
A TradingView account with strategy backtesting enabled. Add the Daily Rank Ladder script to the chart once it is published — the hub page carries release status.
The inputs
The strategy exposes a fixed set of inputs controlling position sizing, commission, the ATR stop multiplier, ladder length, and optional filters. Each input maps to a named field in the script settings panel. Defaults match the global configuration vendored in the ledger unless a ticker row shows a confirmed override.
| Input role | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Capital base | Starting equity for the Strategy Tester |
| Max position | Upper bound on notional per name |
| Commission | Round-trip cost per trade |
| ATR stop | Multiplier on the trailing exit |
| Ladder | Moving-average rungs and reclaim logic |
| Filters | Volume, chop, and MACD gates — off in the shipped global config |
The ledger lists per-ticker ATR stop and risk settings where they differ from global defaults.
Reading the Strategy Tester
Open the Strategy Tester panel after applying the script. The overview tab shows net profit, drawdown, and trade count. The list of trades shows entries and exits with timestamps.
Compare in-sample and out-of-sample windows using the date range controls. The evidence on this site scores the trailing measurement window and an out-of-sample tail — the same discipline the upstream repository documents in the ledger header.
For a single instrument, match the ticker symbol, the ATR stop column, and the tuning label in the ledger before drawing conclusions. A row marked global-seed was never individually optimized; that is a deliberate choice documented in the optimization verdict.
