Hire a Pine Script Developer — TradingView Strategies & Bridges
TradingView is where most modern retail strategy ideas get drawn first. We write Pine Script that does what the drawing implies: studies with honest signal semantics, strategies with realistic commission/slippage modeling, alert systems that fire exactly once per intended event, and — the big one — execution bridges that turn Pine alerts into broker orders.

Overview
What this service actually involves
Pine's limits matter when you plan to automate from it: no real intrabar fills in most modes, alert-on-cross gotchas, and repainting pitfalls built right into the language's convenience. We build within the language correctly and tell you when a strategy has outgrown Pine and needs MQL5 or C# to be testable fairly.
The full path we deliver: Pine strategy → webhook alert → validated listener → MT5/cTrader execution → monitored VPS. One team for the whole chain instead of three freelancers arguing about whose bug it is.
Scope
What we build on TradingView
Concrete deliverables, not a capability list. Every item below is scoped in writing before a fixed quote is issued.
Strategies with honest modeling
Pine strategy code with realistic commission, slippage, and fill assumptions — configured so the backtest report doesn't flatter itself.
Alert & webhook automation
Single-fire alert designs with JSON payloads for downstream automation, dedupe keys, and per-symbol routing.
Pine → broker execution bots
End-to-end: alerts delivered to MT5 or cTrader through validated listeners. See trading bot development.
Pine → MQL5/C# conversions
Behavior-verified ports with documented data-source differences. See platform conversion.
Example scopes
Platform credibility notes
Anonymized project briefs in the shape real requests arrive — platform, fixed quote, and timeline agreed before work starts.
Language & stack
Pine Script v5 and v6 (study and strategy modes, alertcondition, request.security with explicit lookahead discipline), TradingView webhooks + JSON, and downstream execution on MT5/cTrader listeners we also maintain.
Repainting discipline
Pine's request.security and intrabar logic can produce signals that look brilliant historically and cannot be acted on live. We design every signal with an explicit answer to 'could a trader have known this at 14:32 on Tuesday?'
Migration paths
The common direction is Pine → MQL5 for real execution. Acceptance = high signal-correlation on identical datasets with every structural divergence documented — exact matching is impossible across feeds, and pretending otherwise is how ports go wrong.

How it compares
Language, account model, backtesting engine, and where each platform bites. Documented platform properties, not benchmarks.
Compare two platforms
Documented platform properties — the ones that decide where a strategy can actually live.
| Property | MT5 / MQL5 | cTrader / cAlgo |
|---|---|---|
| Language | MQL5 (C++-like, object-oriented) | C# on .NET |
| Account model | Netting or hedging, per account | Hedging, with level-II depth |
| Backtesting | Real-tick multi-symbol, multi-threaded, genetic optimizer | Tick-data backtests with visual mode and optimization |
| Runs on | Broker terminal + VPS | cTrader desktop, web, or cTrader Automate cloud |
| Strongest at | The broadest broker coverage with a modern tester and full order-model control. | A real language and toolchain, plus depth-of-market data most retail platforms hide. |
| Where it bites | Hedging vs netting changes position handling, so ported MT4 logic needs rewriting rather than translating. | Far fewer brokers offer it, which constrains where the account can live. |
Migrating between two of these is a rewrite, not a translation — the account and order models differ. We verify ported behaviour side by side before handover.
Pricing guidance
Typical project ranges
How budgets map to scope on this service. Your exact fixed quote arrives in writing after a scoping conversation — the numbers below are directional ranges, not promises.
| Scope | Typical range (USD) | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Indicator/study or strategy script | $200 – $600 | 3–7 days |
| Pine → MT5/cTrader automation bridge | $1,500 – $3,500 | 2–4 weeks |
| Pine → MQL5 conversion | $600 – $1,500 | 1–2 weeks |
Pine work runs $200–$1,500 for studies and strategies alone; automation bridges with listeners and execution add $1,000–$2,500. Fixed quote once we see your script or spec.
