TradingView (Pine Script)
The most popular charting platform, with its own Pine Script language for indicators and strategies, a strategy tester, and alerts that can trigger external bots via webhooks.
The best place to prototype a strategy visually; pair its alerts with a bot to execute trades automatically.
Who it is for
Traders who want to design and test strategies on charts and send alerts to a bot or broker.
Strengths
- Free plan without credit card.
- Pine Script strategies with a built-in strategy tester.
- Alerts can be sent to many bots (3Commas, OctoBot and others support TradingView alerts).
Good to know
- Free plan limits: 2 indicators per chart, 3 price alerts and 20 s of Pine Script calculation time.
- Alert counts grow with plan level (20 on Essential up to 1,000 on Ultimate), so heavy automation needs a paid plan.
