Prerequisites:

• php 7.3 or greater
• composer
• NodeJS, NPM
• a paid (non-trial) TradingView account with Pro subscription level

Config:

• set TV_USERNAME in .ENV file (this is your TradingView username, e.g. TV_USERNAME=[email protected])
• set TV_PASSWORD in .ENV file (this is your TradingView password, e.g. TV_PASSWORD=mypassword)
• add DUSK_HEADLESS=true in .ENV file if you want a headless browser (runs in background as opposed to launching a browser)
• add your Pinescript strategy into TradingView & save it (the exact name is important, take note of this for the $strategyName variable)
• your Pinescript will need to include date range code, if you want them in your CSV
• modify your $strategyName, $exchange, $coins, $dateRanges, $intervals variables in tests/Browser/ExampleTest.php
• use the $testPause variable to diagnose for issues, key issue is Dusk runs too fast, sometimes you need to slow it down (e.g. $testPause=1500, meaning delay each action by 1.5 seconds)

How to run:

• open a termnial session and type in the below commands:
• php artisan serve
• php artisan dusk:chrome-driver 96 (number must match your current Google Chrome desktop version)
• php artisan dusk tests/Browser/ExampleTest.php

Output:

• less combinations of coins, dataranges, and intervals will run faster... and vice versa
• a new CSV file (Strategy_XXX.csv) will be created in the root directory
• this file will be overwritten each time the test is run
