Pine Script

TradingView's own scripting language for building custom indicators and strategies - more approachable than general-purpose programming languages.

Pine Script is TradingView’s own scripting language, purpose-built for creating custom indicators and trading strategies that run directly on TradingView’s charts. It exists so traders can codify their own specific ideas - conditions or calculations that built-in indicators don’t cover exactly - and was designed to be more approachable than general-purpose programming languages, with no prior coding background assumed.
