Decoded from: I Tested 100 Trading Strategies and Found THIS by Scarface Trades — watch the original
Strategy overview
Most strategy content teaches one setup; this entry comes from the opposite format — a bulk-testing video in which Scarface Trades runs through a large batch of strategies and reports back on what survived. A trading strategy, in this context, is any fixed set of entry, exit and risk rules that can be applied the same way twice, which is what makes a hundred of them comparable in the first place.
The framing matters more than any single result. "I Tested 100 Trading Strategies and Found THIS" is a survey, not a tutorial: it spans mixed methodologies rather than committing to one school, and its value to a viewer is the elimination logic — why most candidates get discarded and what the handful of survivors appear to have in common. That kind of video is worth watching for the filter, not for a ruleset to copy.
No mechanical ruleset was extracted from this source, so this page catalogs the video as a research reference rather than a decoded setup. Anything that looks promising in a mass-testing format still has to be re-specified and re-tested on your own instrument, timeframe and cost assumptions before it means anything for your account — results from someone else's test bench rarely transfer unchanged.

Frequently asked questions
What is the "I Tested 100 Trading Strategies" video about?
It is a bulk-comparison video from the Scarface Trades channel that runs a large batch of trading strategies across mixed methodologies and reports which ones held up, rather than teaching a single setup in depth.
Can you trade a strategy just because someone else tested it?
No. A test result is tied to the instrument, timeframe, date range, position sizing and cost assumptions used to produce it. Change any of those and the outcome can change too, which is why an outside test is a starting point for your own research, not a substitute for it.
What should you look for in a strategy-testing video?
Check how many trades each result is based on, what period and market conditions it covers, whether spread, commissions and slippage were included, and whether the strategy was checked on data it was not tuned on. Small samples and single favourable periods are the most common ways a weak strategy looks strong.
How do I turn a strategy from a video into something I can test?
You need it written as unambiguous rules — exact entry condition, exit condition, and risk definition — before any backtest is meaningful. Strategy Decoder extracts that structure from video sources so strategies can be evaluated and tested on TradingView.
