The objective of this tutorial is to provide training on the Trading View coding language, namely Pine Script.

Pine Script was designed to be lightweight and to complete tasks in fewer lines of code than other programming languages. 

Creating indicators in other languages involves searching for your own data, whereas Trading View has a wealth of data available at your fingertips, ready to access with a single line of code. Trading View users also have the option to publish their indicators and strategies to the Trading View library.

It is a simple language, focused on trading, time series and technical indicators.

Pine Script allows you to write 3 types of scripts:

• Technical indicator such as RSI, MACD, etc., which can be displayed on the screen;
• Trading strategy, which includes buy/sell signals, with the possibility of carrying out backtests and forward tests;
• Library, used to group often used functions that can be reused by other scripts.
