Introduction to TradingView Pine Script for Strategy Building

A ground-up, code-first introduction to Pine Script for traders and engineers who want to build their own indicators and strategies on TradingView instead of relying on someone else's. You will set up TradingView for NSE and BSE charts, learn Pine Script's syntax, series and built-in variables, and use them to build real indicators like moving averages, RSI and Bollinger Bands from scratch. You will then move from indicator() to strategy(), write entry and exit logic, size positions, and read a Strategy Tester report the way a sceptical coder would, spotting the difference between a good backtest and a lucky one. No prior Pine Script experience is assumed, but comfort with basic programming logic (variables, if-else, loops) will help you move faster.
