What is Pine Script?

Pine Script is TradingView's powerful, cloud-based programming language, designed for creating custom indicators and backtesting trading strategies. Unlike complex coding languages, Pine Script is lightweight and efficient, often requiring fewer lines of code to achieve your goals. While not a full-fledged language for highly complex tools, we are continuously improving Pine Script and welcome feature requests.

Mastering Pine Script: A Beginner's Guide

Understanding the Pine execution model and series is fundamental to writing effective Pine scripts. Series are essential for working with time-series data, and practice is key to leveraging their power. Combine series with built-in functions to process information efficiently and create sophisticated indicators with minimal code.

The Pine Editor: Your Coding Workspace

The Pine Editor is where you'll write and test your Pine scripts. Access it by clicking the "Pine Editor" tab at the bottom of any TradingView chart. To start, open the "New" dropdown and select "Blank indicator script." Copy and paste example code, save your script with a descriptive name, and add it to the chart to see it in action. Experiment with code modifications – like changing colors – and watch the changes reflect in real-time.

Learn by Doing: Explore Examples and the Public Library

This documentation provides numerous examples of Pine Script functions, variables, and operators. The best way to learn is to actively experiment! Copy and modify the examples within the editor. You'll also find a wealth of pre-built Pine scripts in the editor's "New" dropdown and TradingView's Public Library – a treasure trove of open-source code.
