Find answers to common questions about our services
What is Pine Script and why do I need it?
Pine Script is TradingView's proprietary programming language designed for creating custom indicators and trading strategies. You need it to develop custom technical analysis tools, automated trading signals, and backtest trading strategies on the TradingView platform.
How long does it take to develop a custom Pine Script indicator?
Development time varies based on complexity - simple indicators can be completed in 2-3 days, while complex strategies with multiple timeframes and parameters may take 1-2 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline estimate before starting your project.
Can you convert my MetaTrader (MQL) indicators to Pine Script?
Yes, we specialize in converting indicators and strategies from other platforms (MetaTrader, NinjaTrader, etc.) to Pine Script for TradingView. While Pine Script has some limitations compared to MQL, we work to recreate your indicator's functionality as closely as possible.
Do you offer maintenance and updates for Pine Script code?
Yes, we provide ongoing support and maintenance packages. TradingView periodically updates Pine Script with new versions, which may require code modifications. Our maintenance service ensures your indicators stay compatible with the latest Pine Script versions.
How do I protect my Pine Script code from being copied?
While Pine Script doesn't offer complete protection, we can implement obfuscation techniques to make your code difficult to reverse-engineer. For institutional clients, we also offer Pine Script compiler services that convert your strategy to a more protected format.
How can I automate my TradingView strategy with Tradovate or NinjaTrader?
We build custom bridges and use webhook integrations to connect your TradingView alerts directly to futures brokers like Tradovate and NinjaTrader. This allows for split-second trade execution without manual intervention, supporting both market and limit orders.
Do you build custom trading dashboards and screeners?
Absolutely. We can create advanced multi-timeframe dashboards, scanners, and screeners that monitor dozens of assets simultaneously. These tools help you spot setups across the entire market instantly, saving you hours of manual charting.
Can I sell the indicators you build for me?
Yes! You own 100% of the intellectual property (IP) and source code. Many of our clients are 'Invite-Only' script vendors who sell access to the tools we develop for them on TradingView.
What is the difference between Strategy and Study in Pine Script?
A 'Study' (Indicator) is used for visual analysis and alerts, while a 'Strategy' allows for comprehensive backtesting with buy/sell orders, profit targets, and stop-losses. We can help you decide which is best for your specific trading goals.
Can you fix or optimize my existing Pine Script code?
Yes, we offer code optimization and debugging services. Whether you have repainting issues, execution errors, or slow performance, we can refactor your script to be efficient, reliable, and error-free.
How accurate is TradingView backtesting?
TradingView backtesting is powerful but requires proper coding to mimic real-world conditions (avoiding 'repainting' or 'lookahead bias'). We code strict realism into our strategies, including commission simulation and slippage, to give you trustworthy performance data.
Do you sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)?
Yes, we prioritize your privacy and intellectual property. We are happy to sign a standard NDA before discussing your proprietary trading logic or algorithm details.
