The engine runs its full search space against your chart's history. The on-chart performance table shows the rolling-best configuration's live results — not a curve-fit chosen in advance.

Frequently asked
What instruments and timeframes does ATE work on?
The engine is market-agnostic — it works on any liquid instrument with enough TradingView history. The published backtest covers 10 instruments × 5 timeframes (50 cells): Nifty, BankNifty (NSE), Gold (XAUUSD spot), Silver (XAGUSD spot), SPX, NDX, DJI, BTCUSD, UKOIL (Brent), and USDINR. Daily is the strongest cell on 9 of 10 instruments — BTCUSD's 4h cell is the exception and a standout in its own right.
Do I need to tune any settings?
No. ATE self-tunes on every bar. The only inputs are display preferences (table position, table size) and an optional webhook JSON toggle for automation. The trading parameters self-optimize.
What is the win rate?
35–55% across most cells. Typical for a trend follower — the edge comes from bigger wins covering smaller losses, not from a high hit rate. The strategy guide explains the math in full.
What about drawdowns?
Shown openly in the backtest report. Most flagship cells run 3–5% maximum drawdown over the full data window; Silver 1D runs ~11% as the price of its higher upside. Cells with poor outcomes are kept in the report, not hidden.
When does ATE launch, and how do I get access?
ATE is in development — the engine and the full backtest are done, and launch timing is being finalised as part of a new plan. Join the newsletter or follow @helmquant on X to get notified; early testers get first access when invite-only access opens.
