Exports

After a backtest completes, Jesse can export your results in several formats so you can analyze trades in external tools, share results with others, or visualize entries and exits in TradingView.

All export options are available in the Options section of the backtest form before you run the backtest. Enable the ones you need, then start the backtest as usual. Once it finishes, the download buttons for each enabled export will appear in the results panel.

CSV

Jesse can export all completed trades into a CSV (comma-separated values) file.

How to enable: Check the Export CSV option in the backtest form before starting.

Once the backtest finishes, click the Download CSV button in the results panel. You can open the file with:

• Microsoft Excel
• Google Sheets
• Any data analysis tool (pandas, R, etc.)

The CSV includes one row per completed trade with columns for entry time, exit time, entry price, exit price, quantity, side (long/short), P&L, and more. This makes it easy to build custom charts, run statistical analyses, or filter trades by criteria that Jesse's built-in metrics don't expose.

JSON

Jesse can also export completed trades in JSON format, which is convenient if you want to process the data programmatically or feed it into a custom visualization tool.

How to enable: Check the Export JSON option in the backtest form before starting.

Once the backtest finishes, click the Download JSON button in the results panel.

Community Tool: Jesse Trades Info

A community member has built a tool called Jesse Trades Info that parses Jesse's JSON export and displays trades in an interactive interface with tables and charts. You can find screenshots, a demo video, and installation instructions on its GitHub repository.

TradingView Pine Script

This export is for users who do their charting in TradingView. Jesse generates a Pine Script file that, when pasted into TradingView's Pine Editor, will plot your strategy's entry and exit points directly on a TradingView chart.

How to enable: Check the Export TradingView option in the backtest form before starting.

Once the backtest finishes, click the Download Pine Script button. Then:

1. Open the downloaded .txt file and copy its entire contents.
2. Go to TradingView and open the Pine Editor (bottom panel).
3. Paste the content into the editor.
4. Click Add to chart.

WARNING

Make sure the TradingView chart is set to the same symbol and timeframe as the backtest. Entries and exits will appear misaligned otherwise.

WARNING

TradingView limits the number of plotted points, so only approximately the last ~30 trades will be visible. This is a limitation on TradingView's side, not Jesse's.

WARNING

The performance metrics shown in TradingView's backtesting panel will differ from Jesse's results. TradingView is not a dedicated backtesting platform — its simulation engine makes different assumptions about order execution. Jesse's numbers are the accurate ones.
