Question 1

Do I need to know how to code?

Accepted Answer

No. Describe your idea in plain English or build it with the form — the AI writes and fixes the Pine Script. You can read or edit the code if you want to, but you never have to.

Question 2

What's the difference between an indicator and a strategy?

Accepted Answer

An indicator is a visual tool on your chart — a moving average, a zone, an oscillator — and it doesn't place trades. A strategy has entry and exit rules and simulates trades so you can backtest it.

Question 3

What is repaint, and is my script safe from it?

Accepted Answer

Repaint is when a signal changes after the bar closes, which makes a backtest look far better than live trading. AlphaScript ships with Avoid Repaint on by default, and you can ask the AI to make any script repaint-safe in chat.

Question 4

Which Pine Script version is used?

Accepted Answer

Pine Script v6 by default. You can request v5 in chat for legacy compatibility.

Question 5

What counts as a generation?

Accepted Answer

Any AI action — building a script, a debug pass, or a refinement in chat. They all draw from the same balance, shared across every tool.

Question 6

Does AlphaScript trade for me?

Accepted Answer

No. AlphaScript generates code you run inside TradingView. Execution happens through TradingView alerts and your broker — we never touch your account.

Question 7

Can I sell strategies I generate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Generated code belongs to you. See the Terms of Service for full details.
