Are You Really Outperforming the Market?
Many traders build detailed strategies, but here’s the big question: Is it actually better than doing nothing? With Earn2Trade automation platform, you can compare your strategy directly to the classic “Buy and Hold” approach.
Let’s break it down.
What Is the Buy and Hold Line?
TradingView’s Buy and Hold Equity line shows how much you’d make by simply buying an asset and holding it—no exits, no indicators, just patience.
It’s a powerful benchmark for your automated strategy.
If your strategy can’t beat Buy and Hold, it might not be worth running—no matter how complex it is.
How to Compare with Earn2Trade Automation
When testing your strategy through Earn2Trade automation via TradingView:
- Open your strategy on the chart.
- Launch the Strategy Tester.
- Navigate to the Overview tab.
- Look for the Buy and Hold Equity line.
You’ll now see both your strategy’s equity curve and the Buy and Hold benchmark on-screen.
Signs Your Strategy Is Working
- Strategy Equity Above Buy and Hold: Great! Your automation is outperforming passive investing.
- Strategy Equity Below Buy and Hold: Warning—your trades might be hurting more than helping.
Even if your strategy is profitable, it needs to outperform the passive option to justify the risk and effort.
Ask Yourself:
- Is my strategy earning more than just holding?
- Am I overcomplicating things for small or no added gain?
Automation should make your life easier and improve performance.
