Pine Script does not run here. It runs on TradingView. We write it, then catch the alerts.
Retail traders, prop desks, and signal sellers already live in Pine. The gap is not another indicator, and it is not a backtest card. It is a webhook that lands in WhatsApp or a book, with a human still on the switch.
Who uses it
Retail TA
RSI, VWAP, ICT-style tools on the same chart they already watch. Most Community Scripts are this.
Signal sellers and educators
Invite-only scripts, paid alerts. Pine is the product. TradingView is the storefront.
Prop / futures
Strategy on TV, webhook to Tradovate, Rithmic, or a prop firm via PickMyTrade or TradersPost.
Crypto bot shops
Same alert, different sink: 3Commas, WunderTrading, Alertatron. Pine is the brain. They only execute.
How they use it
- Indicator or strategy in Pine v5/v6, compiled on TradingView’s servers.
- Backtest on TV bars, not ticks. A sketch. Not an edge.
- Alert on condition. Webhooks need a paid TradingView plan.
- A bridge turns JSON into an order. Pine never talks to the broker.
Data sources
Pine only sees what TradingView licensed: exchange stocks, CME/CBOE futures, FX, and crypto from TV’s vendors. request.security() can pull other symbols, with tight limits. No Bloomberg. No your CSV. No tick tape.
Ten sites that actually sit on Pine
| Site | What they do | Fit for us |
|---|---|---|
| TradingView | Editor, data, scripts, backtests. Pine lives here. | We generate scripts they paste in. |
| PineCoders | Wizards, style guide, Stack Overflow. Free, open. | Quality bar for any script we emit. |
| Pine docs | Official v6 language. Cloud limits, not a desktop runtime. | Source of truth. |
| Pineify | English → Pine, paid. No live execution. | Generate rival. We win on where the alert lands. |
| PineConnector | TV alert → MT4/MT5. | FX/prop path we should not rebuild. |
| 3Commas | Crypto DCA/grid. Consumes webhooks. | Sink, not a brain. |
| Alertatron | Webhook recipes, multi-step orders. | Same sink idea for crypto. |
| PickMyTrade | Futures and prop firms. You bring the signal. | US futures path. |
| WunderTrading | Crypto bots + copy trade from TV alerts. | Skip. We do not want exchange keys. |
| TradersPost | Webhooks to many brokers, paper mode. | Cleanest partner if we ever execute. |
LuxAlgo and similar sell invite-only packs on TradingView. Vendors, not infrastructure.
How we would use it
1. Pick a canned rule
This demo is not an English compiler. It maps a few known phrases to real Pine v6. Anything else stays unmatched.
2. Chart it on TradingView
TV bars, not ticks, not an edge. Paste the script on their chart. This widget is their data, not a backtest.
3. Alert payload
Paid TradingView plan sends this JSON to us. We never hold broker keys.
4. Lands in Articulate
Demo log. Live this would be WhatsApp, a book, or a kill-switch — not a silent bot.
