Check your work as you learn

Complete each exercise in your own practice copy. Inspect the chart, alert log or demo-account result it asks for. Navigation does not check your account or certify trading readiness; a picture, copied example or successful compilation does not verify the complete workflow.

Add PineConnector alerts

• Add alerts to your script: existing Pine v5 indicator and strategy examples.
• Pine Script converter to convert supported v5/v6 source, then configure its PineConnector inputs in TradingView.
• Connect a Pine Script to PineConnector: manual adaptation and prerequisites.
• Connect without code access: use suitable existing alert conditions.

Work with an older script

Convert Pine Script to v5 or v6 for legacy examples. Upgrading the language and adding PineConnector alerts are separate tasks.

Review messages and verification

Check commands, broker symbols, sizing and required parameters in PineConnector Syntax. Follow Test your setup, then verify your script’s realtime alerts and resulting demo trades.
