pine-develop

A step-by-step workflow for building Pine Script indicators and strategies in TradingView. Pine Script is TradingView’s language for creating custom chart studies and trading systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or modify indicators, strategies, or libraries; pull existing code; add inputs and trading rules; push code to TradingView; and verify compilation.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable loop for defining the goal, writing the script, compiling it, and fixing errors until it works.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pine-develop scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Pine Script Development Loop

You are developing a Pine Script indicator or strategy in TradingView. Follow this loop precisely.

Step 1: Understand the Goal

If not already clear, ask the user:

  • What type? (indicator, strategy, library)
  • What does it do? (entry/exit logic, overlay, oscillator, etc.)
  • Overlay or separate pane?
  • Any specific inputs or visual elements?

Step 2: Pull Current Source (if modifying)

If modifying an existing script:

node scripts/pine_pull.js

Then read scripts/current.pine to understand what's there.

If creating new: start from scratch.

Step 3: Write the Pine Script

Write the complete script to scripts/current.pine. Every script MUST include:

  • //@version=6 header
  • Proper indicator() or strategy() declaration
  • All user inputs with input.*() functions and groups
  • Clear comments for each logical section

For strategies, include:

  • strategy.entry() and strategy.exit() calls
  • Position sizing via strategy() declaration
  • Default commission and slippage settings

Step 4: Push and Compile

node scripts/pine_push.js

This injects the code into TradingView's Pine Editor, clicks compile, and reports any errors.

Step 5: Fix Errors

If errors are reported:

  1. Read the error messages (line number + description)
  2. Edit scripts/current.pine locally — fix the specific lines
  3. Push again: node scripts/pine_push.js
  4. Repeat until 0 errors

Common Pine Script errors:

  • "Mismatched input" — usually indentation (Pine uses 4-space indentation, not braces)
  • "Could not find function or function reference" — typo in function name or wrong version
  • "Undeclared identifier" — variable used before declaration
  • "Cannot call X with argument type Y" — wrong parameter type

Step 6: Verify on Chart

After clean compilation:

  1. capture_screenshot — take a screenshot to verify it looks right
  2. data_get_strategy_results — if it's a strategy, check performance
  3. Show the user the results

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
