The Island 4H MTF strategy results by timeframe and regime | TensorTrader

Backtest results for the TradingView indicator The Island 4H MTF: median ROI, Sortino and worst drawdown by timeframe and market regime, and how to automate it paper first.

The Island 4H MTF: tournament results

The Island 4H MTF is a published TradingView indicator that TensorTrader's script tournament backtested across many symbols. It placed on the leaderboard 2 times: 1 timeframe ranking and 1 market-regime ranking.

Its best placement was the Quiet regime with a median per-symbol ROI of +2.3%. The worst max drawdown across its placements was 6.7%. The tournament ranks scripts within the same timeframe using median per-symbol ROI, median Sortino and the worst drawdown, not pooled compounding, so one lucky symbol cannot carry a script.

By timeframe

By market regime

Quiet is no trend and low volatility: tight ranges where fees can eat most edges.

Automating a indicator

As an indicator, The Island 4H MTF automates through its alert conditions: one alert per direction per token and timeframe, with each condition mapped to open long or open short in the extension's Variable alignment step. If it only calls alert(), one "Any alert() function call" alert per token is enough.

What these numbers mean

These are strategy-tester backtests on stored tapes, refreshed as the tournament runs (board generated 2026-09-26). Backtests understate costs and flatter fills, so a placement here is a reason to paper trade The Island 4H MTF, not evidence that it will earn. Check the worst drawdown as well as the median ROI, and prefer scripts that place in several regimes or timeframes.
