SME Backtesting [TFO]
This strategy script is an extension of my Smart Money Essentials (SME) indicator and aims to provide a simplified means of backtesting complex trade models that incorporate a variety of Smart Money Concepts.
Among other things, Smart Money Essentials contains logic for:
- Market structure
- Fair Value Gaps
- Order Blocks
- Breaker Blocks
- Optimal Trade Entries
- HTF Market Structure
The Confluence section can then be utilized to build and test trade models from any combination of the included factors. As a basic example, we could test a strategy that only utilizes market structure. With Manual Exit turned off, we would simply be flipping long on bullish market structure shifts, and reversing short on bearish market structure shifts for the duration of the user-defined session.
As one might expect, such a simple strategy isn't expected to produce very reliable results by itself. However, we could build on these ideas by adding extra layers of Confluence, like looking for entries where Market Structure aligns with Order Block interactions. We could also turn on Manual Exit with a 40 tick stop loss and 80 tick profit target (10 points and 20 points, respectively, for ES futures), for more defined exit criteria.
One could expand on these ideas by adding factors like Fair Value Gaps, HTF Market Structure, etc. Any of the core pieces of SME can be used to build and backtest strategies that would otherwise be extremely tedious to do by hand, and as the SME indicator grows, so too will this backtesting script. Ultimately, the purpose of this is to make Smart Money Concepts more objective and easily testable so that users may better understand where these concepts may perform best.
