Pine Debugger

The pine-debugger skill enables AI agents to analyze, debug, and optimize Pine Script code used in TradingView strategies. It assists developers by identifying logical errors, syntax issues, and performance bottlenecks within custom trading algorithms.

When to use it

• You need to fix a compilation error preventing your strategy from loading on TradingView.
• Your backtest results show unexpected drawdowns or logic that doesn't match your intended rules.
• You want to refactor legacy Pine Script code for better readability and execution speed.
• You are stuck in an infinite loop or encountering runtime errors during live trading simulations.

Key capabilities

• Parses and validates Pine Script syntax against current TradingView standards.
• Identifies logical flaws that cause incorrect trade entry or exit signals.
• Suggests optimizations to reduce calculation time on large historical datasets.
• Provides context-aware error messages with specific line numbers and explanations.

Example prompts

• "Debug this Pine Script snippet where the stop-loss calculation returns NaN values."
• "Analyze my trading strategy code for any infinite loops that might occur during backtesting."
• "Optimize this complex indicator to run faster on 1-hour timeframes without changing logic."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Pine Script version matches the latest TradingView environment, as debugging results depend on current language features. While the tool identifies errors effectively, always verify suggested fixes manually before deploying strategies with real capital.
