# Why?

### Why I Built This Tool:

I built the PSStrategyX tool to simplify and streamline the backtesting, forward testing, and auto trading process for Pine Script traders on TradingView. As the creator of PineScriptStrategy.com, I wanted a way to quickly test and analyze strategies in an organized manner and share my findings with others in a familiar way. Not only did I need a way to backtest strategies and indicators quickly, but I also wanted to forward test promising strategies to make actual profits. Therefore, I developed a [free version](https://pinescriptstrategy.com/best-tradingview-strategy-free/) of this tool in December 2022 to gauge interest and released the [pro version](https://pinescriptstrategy.com/psstrategyx/) in April 2023.

### The Purpose of PSStrategyX Tool:

[PSStrategyX](https://pinescriptstrategy.com/psstrategyx/) tool was created to address a common problem faced by traders who use Pine Script on TradingView, which is the inability to integrate Pine Script with exchanges through TradingView. Without this integration, traders have to go through several extra steps to live trade their Pine Script strategies on a real exchange with real money, which can be time-consuming and add complexity to the codebase. The PSStrategyX tool simplifies this process by automatically configuring the correct alert syntax to connect to third-party exchanges, allowing traders to live trade their strategies with minimal setup. This saves traders time and effort, allowing them to focus on signal development rather than complicated strategy testing code and 3rd party automation. The tool also makes it easy to convert free indicators on TradingView to strategies without the need for extensive coding.

### Why You Might Want to Use This Tool:

The PSStrategyX tool is an invaluable resource for any trader looking to streamline their strategy testing process and make more informed decisions. By separating indicator logic from strategy logic, the tool makes it easier to manage code, experiment with multiple indicators and strategies, and backtest signals to gain a deeper understanding of their performance in live trading scenarios. This allows traders to make more confident and informed trades, ultimately increasing their chances of success. Overall, the PSStrategyX tool saves time and effort, improves understanding and interpretation of indicator signals, and facilitates experimentation with multiple indicators and strategies without excess code. Give it a try and see the difference it can make for your trading.
