Updated October 2026. This post first introduced the free TradingView Strategy Report Enhancer on this site. That tool has been retired. Everything it did, and a lot more, now lives in JSK TradeProof, which grew out of the same code.
The goal hasn’t changed. Only the method has.
The default report is only the start
Run a backtest in TradingView and you get a solid summary: net profit, win rate, profit factor, drawdown.
But the questions that decide whether you should trust a strategy aren’t in it:
- How does it look for longs and shorts separately?
- How much of the profit came from a few lucky trades?
- How bad could the drawdown have been if the same trades came in a different order?
- Does it hold up on data it wasn’t tuned on?
How the Report Enhancer worked
You exported the TradingView report as .xlsx, uploaded it here, and a few minutes later an HTML report arrived by email: equity and drawdown curves, SQN, R-expectancy, Z-score, profit by weekday and month.
It was useful. It also had limits. It only read TradingView’s exact export format, your file travelled to a server, and you waited for an email.
The same job, done a different way
JSK TradeProof does the analysis inside Excel or Google Sheets.
| Report Enhancer (retired) | JSK TradeProof | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Our server | Your own spreadsheet |
| Your data | Uploaded, then emailed back | Never leaves your workbook |
| Input | TradingView .xlsx only |
TradingView, broker exports, or your own rows |
| Report | Emailed HTML | New sheets in your file, plus HTML or PDF |
| Robustness tests | None | Monte Carlo, what-if, out-of-sample, walk-forward |
How to do it now
- Export your trades from TradingView. Open the Strategy Tester, then the List of trades tab, then the export icon.
- Open the file in Excel or Google Sheets with JSK TradeProof installed.
- Select the trades and check the column mapping. TradeProof guesses each column and flags anything it was unsure of. TradingView writes two rows per trade (entry and exit), and TradeProof pairs them.
- Choose your analyses and build the report. New sheets appear beside your data; your own sheet is never changed.
- Download it as a self-contained HTML file or PDF if you want to share it.
What you get
- 45 performance and risk metrics, each computed three ways: all trades, longs only, shorts only.
- Equity curve and drawdown profile.
- Monte Carlo: your own trades resampled thousands of times, including risk of ruin.
- What-if scenarios: the record without your best trades, at half size, or long only.
- Out-of-sample and walk-forward splits, so a result isn’t just a description of the period you fitted to.
- Market phases you define, and portfolios of several strategies with a correlation matrix.
The free tier covers the basics: instant analysis of up to 100 trades with no account, or unlimited trades with a free account. Pro adds Monte Carlo, the advanced what-if tools and money management. See JSKAPPS for the current plans.
One honest note: TradeProof computes Sharpe and Sortino itself, so they won’t exactly match the figures TradingView shows for the same strategy. The glossary explains the metrics.
Why this matters
Good trading starts with good data. It continues with asking the data hard questions.
For a worked example of those questions, see the Half Trend backtest report: a strategy whose report looks great, and five reasons not to trust it yet.
