Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Backpulse TradingView backtest extension really free?
Yes, 100% free forever. There are no hidden fees, no subscription requirements, and no credit card required. You simply install the extension from the official Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons and start optimizing immediately.
What is the difference between Local Mode and Cloud Mode?
Local Mode runs the entire optimization process inside your browser tab — no data ever leaves your machine, giving you 100% privacy. Cloud Mode offloads heavy multi-parameter or multi-run computations to high-speed cloud clusters, so your browser stays responsive while the engine crunches thousands of combinations in the background.
Does Backpulse work with invite-only or protected Pine Script strategies?
Yes. Because Backpulse operates directly inside the TradingView UI within your browser, it can adjust input parameters for any strategy that exposes settings in the chart dialog — including open-source, invite-only, and protected strategies.
How does Brute Force differ from Bayesian optimization?
Brute Force Grid Search tests every single combination of parameters with 100% mathematical precision — ideal when you need exhaustive accuracy across a defined range. Bayesian optimization uses a probabilistic model to predict which parameter sets are most likely to maximize Profit Factor and Win Rate, finding peak results up to 10× faster with fewer iterations.
Does Backpulse upload or steal my strategy code?
No. Security and trader privacy are core tenets of Backpulse. In Local Mode, the extension runs entirely client-side inside your browser sandbox — your Pine Script code, proprietary logic, and trading parameters are never sent to external servers.
Which browsers are supported?
Backpulse is natively supported on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Brave, and Microsoft Edge. Install directly from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons.
Do I need a paid TradingView subscription to use Backpulse?
No! Backpulse works with free (Basic) TradingView accounts as well as paid Essential, Plus, or Premium plans. You do not need an expensive TradingView subscription to automate your backtesting.
How does this compare to TradingView's native Deep Backtesting?
TradingView's native 'Deep Backtesting' is locked behind their $60/month Premium tier and only recalculates historical bars — it offers no automated parameter search whatsoever. Backpulse delivers full multi-parameter Brute Force and Bayesian optimization directly in your browser, for free.
