Many #tradingview strategies look strong in backtests — but fail quickly once they go live.

The reason usually isn’t the strategy idea itself.

Real deployment introduces challenges that backtests often miss:

• Slippage

• Exchange execution delays

• API reliability

• Position sizing errors

• Risk controls

• Live monitoring

A profitable backtest does not automatically mean a strategy is ready for real capital.

This is where many traders underestimate the true complexity of automation.


A more realistic process often looks like:

#tradingview / #pinescript strategy

→ strategy conversion

→ backtest

→ paper trading

→ small live deployment

→ full automation

The biggest gap in automated trading is often not strategy creation.

It’s execution.

We’ve been closely focused on this strategy-to-execution gap at #VegaXArchitect , especially around simplifying how traders move from TradingView strategies to live deployment.

How are others here validating their strategies before going live?
