How Pine Script Processes Code

In this lesson, you'll learn about the Pine Script processing model and how it actually runs the code. This will help you visualize the code you'll write in the future much better.

How to Learn Better

In this lesson, I'll give you a quick tip on learning Pine Script better as you start this course. This is an important video to watch!

Account and Application

In this quick lesson, you'll learn about different account types and methods to access TradingView.

Publishing Models

In this quick lesson, you'll learn about different ways you can share your script with the TradingView community.

Basic of The Editor

In this lesson, you'll learn about the basic functions of the Editor and how to use it to manage your code.

Comments

In this lesson, you'll learn about Pine Script comments and metadata and their use cases.

Compiler Errors

In this lesson, you'll get familiar with some of the basics of the Pine Script compiler and its errors.

Indicator Functions

In this lesson, you'll learn some of the most important functions of the Indicator value, their use cases, and much more. The Indicator Function is the first line of code in any Pine Script Indicator and learning it is a must!

Use Defined Variables

In this lesson, you'll learn about user-defined variables and how are they going to be used in your indicator scripts.

Plot

In this lesson, you'll learn about plots and how to use them in your code to create charts.

If and Else Statements

In this lesson, you'll learn about everything there is to know when it comes to if and else statements. This is one of the most important lessons and functions of PineScript!

For Loops

For Loops allow you to loop through a command or number to get new results and can be very useful in complicated indicators.

While Loops

While loops are another form of conditions that can be used to create interesting indicators which you'll learn about in this lesson.

While Breaks

A quick addition to the While loop to help you break a loop when a condition is met. This is another useful function for creating advanced Pine Script indicators.

Switch Statement

Switch statements are a cleaner and easier way to do IF and ELSE statements which are new to Pine Script and can be used to make complicated IF and ELSE statements cleaner.

Moving Forward

To take a break and make sure that you understand the lessons of this section, I provided a code for you to check out and test your knowledge on. This code uses some of the functions we learned in this section and helps you practice your skills.

In this lesson, you'll learn more about plots and how to display advanced information and shapes using the Pine Script plot function.

Writing a Simple MA and EMA Crossover Indicator

Watch me as I explain and write a simple Moving Average and EMA crossover indicator, that detects when these values cross over each other.

Writing a Simple Comparison Tool

In this live coding example, I'm going to write a table indicator that will compare two stocks and provide some information.

"var" Keyword

This lesson covers the topic of the "var" keyword, a very useful variable for holding data throughout the script for more advanced codes.

Previous Bars Data

In this lesson, you'll learn about a simple and valuable Pine Script concept: looking up previous bar data and calculations.

Alerts and Alert Conditions

In this lesson, you'll learn about alerts and alert conditions and will learn where and how to use them in your code.

Adding Alerts to An Existing Script

A quick practice video where you can watch me add an alert to one of the scripts we created during the live coding section.
