# Elite Trader Funding Automation: Beat Buy & Hold?

### Is Your Trading Strategy Worth It?

Many traders create detailed strategies hoping to beat the market—but how do you know if it’s truly better than doing nothing? With **TradingView’s Buy and Hold line**, you can quickly compare your automated strategy’s performance to a simple approach: buying the asset and holding it. This guide explains how to use the **Buy and Hold line** to evaluate your performance with [**Elite Trader Funding Automation** **tool**](https://pickmytrade.trade/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=sm).

### What Is the Buy and Hold Line In **Elite Trader Funding Automation**?

It’s a benchmark. It shows how much money you would’ve made by simply **buying an asset and holding it**—no indicators, no signals, no exits.

You’ll find it on TradingView’s **Strategy Tester → Overview → Buy and Hold Equity**. Once enabled, a blue line appears on your chart.

This helps answer a simple but critical question:

> **Is your strategy really better than just holding the asset?**

---

### Why the Buy and Hold Line Matters

#### Reality Check

If your strategy performs worse than Buy & Hold, it may not be worth the complexity.

#### Simplicity vs. Complexity

A simple buy-and-hold strategy may outperform high-frequency, rule-heavy systems.

#### Opportunity Cost

Your time, capital, and effort are limited. Use this line to evaluate if automation is truly worth the trade.

### Real Strategy Comparison

Let’s say you’re using **Elite Trader Funding Automation** through TradingView and PickMyTrade. You test a Supertrend strategy. The Strategy Tester shows:

- **Total Profit**: $146,000
- **Profit Factor**: 1.48
- **Buy and Hold Profit**: $90,000

Your automation clearly outperformed Buy and Hold—great! But in another test, an RSI-based strategy had:

- **Total Loss**: $50,000
- **High Win Rate**, but
- **Buy and Hold Profit**: $80,000

This shows that a high win rate **doesn’t mean** better performance than Buy and Hold.
