TradingView is the chart. Its Strategy Tester backtests Pine Script on the chart's bars and its alerts can drive a bot. OptAlgo is the lab and the bot: an execution-grade backtest with real costs, a grade for how honest it was, and the service that turns your TradingView alerts into orders.

Nothing on OptAlgo replaces TradingView's charting. OptAlgo publishes free TradingView templates with 14,000+ boosts, and the webhook bot turns any alert into an order on Binance, Bybit or OKX with a Strategy Key in the alert message.
The Strategy Tester fills orders on the chart's OHLC values. On crypto perps that misses funding, exchange minimums and what happens inside a 4-hour bar. OptAlgo replays the same rules on 1-minute data with fees and exact funding, then grades the result and counts how many variants you tried.
Describe the Pine strategy's rules to Claude or ChatGPT through the OptAlgo connector and it writes the equivalent Python against the OptAlgo SDK. The first run tells you how much of the TradingView result survives real costs.

faq
No. TradingView is a charting platform; OptAlgo is a backtest engine and bot runner. They are used together: chart and alert on TradingView, test and execute on OptAlgo.
Usually funding payments, exchange minimum order sizes and intrabar fills. The OptAlgo findings list exactly which assumption changed the result.
Every competitor cell quotes that company's own pricing or product page on the date shown under the table, and says “not stated” when their page does not say. If something changed, email [email protected] and we will update it.
Yes. OptAlgo backtests and runs strategies on your own exchange account through API keys, so nothing stops you from keeping another platform connected to the same or a different sub-account.
50 backtest units a month on the Free plan.
