Description
TRADLEWARE-HODL is a buy-and-hold reference strategy designed for honest side-by-side comparison with active trading strategies.Tradleware— hardened trading middleware for professional traders. Local execution, zero-trust security, absolute privacy. No cloud. No leaks.How it worksOn the start date, it deploys 100% of the initial capital into the asset at market price and holds until the end date. No timing, no signals, no exits — pure accumulation. At the end of the backtest period the position is sold so the Strategy Tester can report the final P&L.Why use it as a benchmarkAny active trading strategy should be measured against the simplest possible alternative: just buy and hold. If an active strategy does not beat HODL on a risk-adjusted basis (Sharpe ratio, max drawdown), it is not adding value — it is just adding complexity. This script makes that comparison one click away.Key inputsInitial Capital — set this to match the strategy you are benchmarking against (e.g. $10,000)Start Date — the date you would have bought. Match this to your active strategy's start date for a fair comparisonEnd Date — leave at the default to run to the presentInfo table (top-right)A live table shows: the date and price at which the position was opened, total capital invested, the current price, current portfolio value (teal when profitable, red when underwater), and the total return percentage since entry.Commission and slippage are set to 0.1% and 3 ticks — matching typical crypto spot taker fees. Adjust to match your active strategy for a like-for-like comparison.Pair with TRADLEWARE-DCA to see both passive benchmarks on the same chart alongside your active strategy.
