# Common Questions

## Why do the strategy results look different when I'm viewing it on my TradingView than what it shows in the Strategy Lab?

The results that you see in your own TradingView for a Strategy Lab strategy can differ because the Strategy Lab may be reflecting a much longer backtest range than you have access to based on your TradingView plan.

## What's the difference in a Strategy vs Indicator

A **strategy** can be backtested in TradingView Strategy Tester.

Strategies can show:

* Entries
* Exits
* Net profit
* Drawdown
* Win rate
* Trade count

An **indicator** is mainly for visual analysis or confirmation.

Indicators can show signals, zones, dashboards, or oscillators, but they do not create Strategy Tester results unless there is a strategy version.

## Common Questions

### Which email should I use?

Use the same email you used when purchasing AlgoPro access.

### I purchased but cannot log in. What should I do?

That means you have probably not made a Strategy Lab account. Create a new account on the strategy lab with the exact email your purchased AlgoPro with.

### Can I submit my own strategy?

Yes, but strategy submissions require premium access.

### Can the AI Assistant trade for me?

No. It can explain workflows and help with analysis, but it cannot place trades or connect to your broker.

### Can I upload TradingView screenshots?

Yes, premium users can upload chart images to the AI Assistant.

### What does Indices & Funds include?

It includes index, indices, CFD, fund, and ETF-style markets.

### Are the scores financial advice?

No. Scores and strategy data are for research and comparison only.
