PineScript Technical Indicator Development: Custom Chart Indicators Using TradingView PineScript - Paperback

TradingView platform is easy to use compared to other charting tools available as free on the internet. You do not need a special computer or software to create pinescript, it can be done on any computer with any specification as long as there is internet connectivity and a browser. After few months of initial practice on TradingView, I realized that this is more than a charting tool. Traders can set alerts, automate their charting using custom indicators and this allows traders to save a lot of time used in manual scanning and tracking of tons of scrip. TradingView is a powerful charting, alert tool with a facility to back-test trading strategies and highly customizable charts.

I have no programming experience and had to struggle initially to learn this simple PineScript programming. I had to take help of some of my engineer friends and traders familiar with coding. During my journey to learn this simple yet powerful PineScript, I thought of sharing my learning experience with other traders for their benefit. This book is for non-programmers with no prior coding experience by a non-programmer. This book will surely enable you to make quick codes with simple instructions.
