Pine Script v6 starter checklist
A starter script should be readable before it is clever. Pine v6 gives users a modern base for study and customization.
Key takeaways
- Every generated script should start with //@version=6.
- Inputs should be adjustable and clearly named.
- Alert conditions should be educational prompts, not buy or sell instructions.
Start with version and intent
The first line should declare Pine Script v6. The next comments should explain the educational purpose of the script and where the user can adjust settings.
Keep inputs readable
Good starter scripts expose only the settings a learner is likely to adjust. Lengths, thresholds, and visibility toggles are useful. Hidden complexity is not.
- //@version=6
- Clear indicator title
- Adjustable inputs
- Plain-language comments
Alerts as review prompts
Alert conditions should describe chart events such as a range break or RSI zone. They should not say buy now, sell now, or imply a profitable outcome.
Checklist
- Use //@version=6.
- Add comments for adjustable settings.
- Name alerts as educational chart events.
- Avoid financial advice copy inside script comments.
