So you've been messing around with Pine Script and wondering if you can actually make money with it? Or maybe you're on the other side - you need someone to build you some custom indicators and don't know where to start? Either way, you're in the right place.

Let me break down everything I know about Pine Script jobs - the good, the bad, and what you actually need to know.

So you're getting into Pine Script and keep hearing about arrays? Yeah, I get it - they sound intimidating at first. But honestly, once you understand what they actually do, they're pretty straightforward. Think of arrays like a shopping list where you can add items, remove them, or check what's at position #3. That's basically it.

Let me walk you through everything you need to know about arrays in Pine Script, and I promise to skip the technical mumbo-jumbo.

So you've been playing around with Pine Script and stumbled across the ta.dmi() function? Good news - you've found one of the really useful ones. The Directional Movement Index (DMI) is basically a way to figure out if the market is trending and how strong that trend is. Let me walk you through what it does and how to actually use it.

What's the DMI All About?​

Back in 1978, this guy J. Welles Wilder came up with the DMI. It's pretty clever actually - instead of just telling you if prices are going up or down, it breaks things down into three parts:

1. +DI (Positive Directional Indicator): This tracks when prices are moving up
2. -DI (Negative Directional Indicator): This tracks when prices are moving down
3. ADX (Average Directional Index): This tells you how strong the trend is, regardless of direction

So you've heard about Pine Script and wondering what the heck it is? I get it – when I first stumbled across it, I thought it was some fancy tree identification app or something. Turns out, it's actually TradingView's own programming language that lets you build custom indicators and trading strategies.

Think of it this way: you know how TradingView comes with all those built-in indicators like moving averages, RSI, MACD, and stuff? Well, Pine Script is what lets you create your own versions of those, or build something completely new that nobody else has thought of.

So you've been using TradingView for a while and keep seeing these custom indicators that look way cooler than the basic ones? Yeah, those are probably made with Pine Script. It's basically TradingView's own programming language that lets you build whatever trading tools you can dream up.

So you want to learn Pine Script v6? Good choice. I've been messing around with TradingView's scripting language for a while now, and honestly, it's one of the best ways to test your trading ideas without risking real money first. Let me walk you through some actual examples that work.

So you've got some old Pine Script v2 code lying around and want to bring it into the modern world? I totally get it. Pine Script has come a long way since version 2, and honestly, you're missing out on some pretty cool stuff if you're still stuck on the old version.

What's This All About?​

So you want to learn Pine Script? Great choice! Pine Script is basically TradingView's way of letting you create your own custom indicators and trading strategies. Think of it like having a conversation with your charts - you tell them what to look for, and they'll highlight it for you.

This guide covers everything from the basic building blocks to more advanced stuff. Don't worry if you're completely new to this - I'll explain everything in plain English.

Here's what we'll cover:

• The basic math and logic operators (the simple stuff)
• Keywords you need to know (and ones to avoid)
• How to store your data
• Different types of information you can work with
• Variables and constants (sounds scary, but it's not)
• Built-in functions that do the heavy lifting
• Some practical tips I've learned along the way
• How to skip the coding altogether with Pineify (more on this later!)

So you want to know about Pine Script alerts? Cool! Let me break this down for you in a way that actually makes sense.

You know how frustrating it is to miss a good trade because you weren't watching the charts? That's exactly what Pine Script alerts solve. Think of them as your personal trading assistant that taps you on the shoulder when something interesting happens in the market.

So you've got this Pine Script indicator that's been working great for ages, but it's stuck in version 2, and now you're wondering if it's worth updating to v5. I've been there – staring at old code that works perfectly fine but feels ancient compared to what's possible now.

Here's the thing: converting from v2 to v5 isn't as scary as it looks. Sure, there are some changes, but most of them actually make your code cleaner and easier to read. Let me walk you through what I learned when I had to do this myself.
