How will I learn?

You will experience Pinescript from the eyes of a seasoned Programmer and Trader cultivated from years of passionate improvement.

Throughout the course:

• I will guide you from basic to advanced concepts.

• I will use spaced repetition, an evidence-based learning technique, to drill important concepts into your mind so you won’t forget.

• You will be shown several different ways to accomplish one thing, making sure you understand the differences between each approach while highlighting which approach you should use.

• You will fortify theory and knowledge with hands-on practice, by doing code alongs in the Pine Editor on Tradingview.

• You will convert real trading rules to indicators, and indicators to strategies to analyze their real performance.

Is this course worth my time and money?

Because this is a highly subjective question relating to personal experience, conditions, knowledge, mental characteristics, and states; the answer depends on the person taking this course a.k.a. YOU.

With that in mind let me offer some objectives for your perceptions.

• There are around 5 hours of content jam-packed into this course. Now length doesn’t exactly equate to quality, but I spent a considerable amount of time, scripting and editing course content so you don’t have to listen to me ramble, stutter, mumble and meander off-topic. I stay on track and include references to other sources if you need further explaining. And, if your short on time, you can always listen to the course on x2 speed, then it’s only 2.5 hours long! ?

• This might be subjective, but I am almost positive it is the most comprehensive course available today covering Pinescript Strategies. You will not find anything better and I am not saying that because I am naturally biased, but I say that because I looked.

• I’ve spent almost 5 years learning what I know now. I’ve consolidated and condensed that knowledge into this course, so you can be confident you are learning the right things the right way. By doing this, I am saving you time so you don’t have to do 10,000 google searches piecing together outdated blog posts, youtube tutorials, and difficult documentation. Put simply, you can learn all this stuff on your own and it will take you a while. Or you could take my course and I can teach you everything in 4.5 hours

• People are selling indicator subscriptions on TV for anywhere between $50 and $200 a month, I can’t speak for the quality of these, but after taking this course you will be able to identify if they are worth the cost. Saving you from additional subscription costs and/or time on bad signals before you realize they are bad signals.

• Before I knew how to code, I would backtest my trading logic by HAND. Knowing how to use Pine Script will save you lots of time.

• If you ever get stuck, I am available to answer questions and help you out! I have been working with Pinescript for almost 5 years now and have extensive experience building indicators and backtesting strategies for myself and clients. I have worked with Python, Javascript, C++, C, and other Domain-Specific Languages like mql4 within the sphere of financial analysis and quantitative analysis. I’ve come across many frameworks for building and testing strategies, and can honestly say that Pinescript is now my go-to backtesting engine. It hasn’t always been that way, but Pinescript has been rapidly evolving and finally can do the things I need it to do rapidly.

• Finally, you can always get your money back if you’re not satisfied!

What will each section cover?

I’ve designed the course in a way so that you can view the course from beginning to end, or you can jump around to just the stuff you need! This way after finishing the course, you can use it as a reference guide for when you are building your own strategies.

Here is an overview of each section with descriptions.

1. Quickstart – The purpose of this section is to introduce the student to core concepts and get them up and running quickly with the proper mindset.

2. Analyzing Strategy Results – No strategy is worth building if you can’t examine and understand the backtesting and forwardtesting results. This section walks you through the key performance metrics in the strategy tester tab.

3. Basic Order Types – Don’t be fooled by the section title. This section is dense and fundamental. We start off by reviewing trading order types and then taking a birds-eye view of all the important strategy functions Pine Script makes available to execute those orders types. We’ll convert an RSI indicator to a strategy, and then use that strategy with every different order type, in various ways, so we can get a good fundamental understanding of how things work. You will learn about market orders, limit orders, stop orders, entries, exits, multiple entries, pyramiding, date filtering, and visualization techniques.

4. Advanced Order Types – This section builds on the last. You will learn how to place take profits, stop losses, stop-limits, OCO’s, trailing stops, and more advanced visualization techniques for viewing these orders on your charts.

5. Understanding the broker emulator – A crucial step in becoming a master of Pinescript strategies. I’ve broken down the complex broker emulator in a simple way anyone can understand. I can’t tell you how many people think Pine Script is broken or crappy because they just don’t understand the broker emulator. This section is designed for the go-getters who want to separate themselves from a novice to a professional.

6. Practical Examples – Take everything we’ve learned and put it into action. I take real-world trading logic and put it to the test. This section explores practical applications, converting trading logic into code, and then into strategies. We experiment with a bunch of different strategies, including one of my own (The only one that works.). I code everything up live, so you get to see me make mistakes and debug the code. (Don’t worry I edited the process, so we skip the parts where I stare at the screen and murmur expletive undertones).

I travel the world and work as a freelancer online. Mostly building an income from my programming expertise; I also use investing and trading as an alternative income source.

I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering Technology (not sure if it’s worth anything nowadays…)

I love to make music, cook and EAT food. Hiking, snowboarding and learning new things are also some of my favorite things to do.
