Inputs and Properties are different

Inputs control the strategy’s entry/exit signals, filters, optimization presets and optional automation settings. Properties includes the backtest account and execution assumptions such as starting capital, position sizing, fees and slippage.

Select the correct market feed and chart timeframe.
Load the desired strategy version and optimization preset, if available.
Inspect every enabled entry, filter and exit condition needed by that version.
Check initial capital, commission, slippage, currency and order sizing under Properties.
Run Strategy Tester and confirm that the reported trades, dates and performance assumptions match the configuration you intended.
Save or export configuration details only after verifying they are correct; imports may not include every Properties field or may be affected by script revisions.
After changing automation-relevant settings, recreate the TradingView alert: an alert preserves a snapshot of the script, symbol, timeframe and inputs.

Different brokers and exchanges can produce different historical fills and execution results. Never assume copied settings are risk-appropriate for another account.

Guides explain configuration and research workflows. For automated execution, test every entry, exit and quantity on a demo account before trading live. Historical returns do not guarantee future performance.
