TradingView Strategy Properties Options
The Properties panel defines the core simulation environment for the BigBeluga Backtester. These parameters control capital allocation, order execution, commission settings, and general backtesting conditions on TradingView.
CAPITAL
Initial Capital: Sets the starting balance for backtesting.
Base Currency: Defines the currency used in the backtest.
Order Size: Specifies position size as a percentage of equity or a fixed amount.
Pyramiding: Limits the number of simultaneous open orders.
COST SIMULATION
Commission: Sets trade fees as a percentage or fixed value.
Verify Price for Limit Orders: Defines the number of ticks to verify order execution.
Slippage: Adjusts simulated price deviations due to market conditions.
RECALCULATE
After Order is Filled: Recalculates strategy logic when a trade is executed.
On Every Tick: Updates calculations on each price tick.
FILL ORDERS
Using Bar Magnifier: Simulates intrabar price movements for more accurate fills.
On Bar Close: Executes orders at the close of each bar.
Using Standard OHLC: Uses Open, High, Low, Close data for order execution.
The Properties Panel establishes the backtest’s foundational parameters, ensuring every simulation reflects realistic market and brokerage conditions.
By adjusting capital, fees, and slippage, traders can create accurate, risk-aware simulations that closely replicate live trading performance.
