Pine Script

Overview

Provide Pine Script v6 guidance for indicators, strategies, and libraries. Apply non-repainting and performance best practices. Support generating Pine Script via other languages (TypeScript, Python, etc.) by keeping generated output compliant with v6 guidance. Run linting with the bundled script wrapper around pinescript-lint.

Workflow

Determine script type and version
- Add //@version=6 and choose indicator(), strategy(), or library().
Apply execution model and repainting safeguards
- Use barstate.isconfirmed, historical offsets, and request.security() lookahead guidance.
Optimize performance and state
- Prefer var/varip for state, limit loops, precompute constants, avoid redundant security calls.
Generate Pine Script from other languages when needed
- Emit Pine Script v6-compliant output and validate by inspection or TradingView editor diagnostics.
Lint before delivery (manual Pine Script only)
- Run node scripts/pinescript_lint.mjs <path> to check formatting and basic issues.
