TradingView Pine Script Reference

The TradingView Pine Script Reference provides comprehensive documentation for version 6 of the Pine Script language, including a full reference manual, migration guides for upgrading from previous versions, and a style guide. It also details built-in variables and functions, user-defined objects, and the Pine Seeds feature for incorporating custom data feeds into scripts. Additionally, the reference covers debugging, profiling, and compiler annotations to assist with script development and optimization.

TradingView aggregates a vast amount of data from its many providers, including price and volume information on tradable instruments, financials, economic data, and more, which users can retrieve in Pine Script™ using the functions discussed in the sections above, as well as multiple built-in variables. To further expand the horizons of possible data one can analyze on TradingView, we have Pine Seeds, which allows users to supply custom user-maintained EOD data feeds via GitHub for use on TradingView charts and within Pine Script™ code. #

Notice! The creation of new Pine Seeds repositories is currently unavailable. However, the data feeds from existing repositories are still accessible from charts and Pine scripts.

Style Guide

  • https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/writing/style-guide/#line-wrapping

Line wrapping #

Line wrapping can make long lines easier to read. Line wraps are defined by using an indentation level that is not a multiple of four, as four spaces or a tab are used to define local blocks.

Compiler annotations are comments that issue special instructions for a script #

  • https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/language/built-ins/

Built-ins #

Pine Script™ has hundreds of built-in variables and functions. They provide your scripts with valuable information and make calculations for you, dispensing you from coding them. The better you know the built-ins, the more you will be able to do with your Pine scripts. #

All built-in variables and functions are defined in the Pine Script™ v6 Reference Manual. It is called a “Reference Manual” because it is the definitive reference on the Pine Script™ language.

Built-in functions #

  • https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/language/objects/

Objects #

Pine Script™ objects are instances of user-defined types (UDTs). They are the equivalent of variables containing parts called fields, each able to hold independent values that can be of various types. Experienced programmers can think of UDTs as methodless classes. They allow users to create custom types that organize different values under one logical entity. #

  • https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/language/methods/

Methods #

Pine Script™ methods are specialized functions associated with values of specific built-in types, user-defined types, or enum types. They behave the same as regular functions in most regards while offering a shorter, more convenient syntax. Users can access methods using dot notation syntax on variables of the associated type, similar to accessing the fields of a Pine Script™ object. #

  • https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/language/maps/

Maps #

Pine Script™ Maps are collections that store elements in key-value pairs. They allow scripts to collect multiple value references associated with unique identifiers (keys). Unlike arrays and matrices, maps are unordered collections. Scripts quickly access a map’s values by referencing the keys from the key-value pairs put into them rather than traversing an internal index. #

  • https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/concepts/repainting/

Repainting #

We define repainting as: script behavior causing historical vs realtime calculations or plots to behave differently. #

  • https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/concepts/strategies/

Strategies #

Pine Script™ Strategies are specialized scripts that simulate trades across historical and realtime bars, allowing users to backtest and forward test their trading systems. Strategy scripts have many of the same capabilities as indicator scripts, and they provide the ability to place, modify, and cancel hypothetical orders and analyze performance results. When a script uses the strategy() function as its declaration statement, it gains access to the strategy.* namespace, which features numerous functions and variables for simulating orders and retrieving essential strategy information. It also displays relevant information and simulated performance results in the dedicated Strategy Tester tab. #
