GPT-4 PineScript V5 Strategy Generator

Generate PineScript V5 strategies from plain English using GPT-4

---

What This Project Does

This repository is an AI PineScript V5 strategy generator built for traders, developers, and TradingView users who want to turn trading ideas into usable PineScript code faster.

Instead of manually writing PineScript or debugging broken AI output, you can describe a strategy in plain English, such as:

• EMA crossover strategy
• RSI and MACD confirmation setup
• breakout or mean reversion logic
• stop loss and take profit rules
• long/short entry conditions
• timeframe-specific backtesting ideas

The generator uses GPT-4 with a PineScript V5-focused prompt architecture and a post-generation validator to produce cleaner, more reliable TradingView strategy code.

This project is useful for:

• traders who want to test ideas quickly
• developers building trading tools
• researchers creating PineScript strategies programmatically
• TradingView users who need faster strategy iteration

⚡ How It Works — The V5 Difference

Most AI-generated PineScript fails for the same reason every time: the model doesn't know V5.

It outputs study() instead of indicator(). It uses security() the old way. It ignores Pine's strict type system. It forgets that strategy.entry() needs a when= argument in V5 or the backtest won't fire. It gives you code that looks right until you paste it into TradingView — then the red error banner hits.

This project wraps GPT-4 inside a V5-native prompt architecture — a structured system prompt that encodes PineScript V5's type system, deprecated function map, strategy declaration requirements, and common compile-time error patterns directly into the generation context before your input ever reaches the model.

The validator catches the structural errors that make strategies silently not fire. The system prompt prevents the syntax errors that make strategies not compile. Together, they close the gap that every vanilla GPT-4 approach leaves open.

🔑 Key Features of the GPT4 PineScript V5 Strategy Generator

V5 System Prompt Architecture The core differentiator. The system prompt isn't a generic "write PineScript" instruction — it encodes V5's full type constraint map, the V4→V5 deprecated function replacement table, and the required parameters for strategy(), strategy.entry(), and strategy.exit(). GPT-4 generates within these constraints, not around them.

Post-Generation Syntax Validator After generation, a pattern-based validator checks the output for 14 known V5 compile-time error signatures before returning the code to you. On failure, it regenerates with a targeted correction prompt — not a generic retry.

Backtest-Ready strategy() Block Every output includes initial_capital, commission_type, commission_value, slippage, default_qty_type, and default_qty_value — the six parameters TradingView's strategy tester needs to produce realistic results. Vanilla GPT-4 omits at least three of these in 80% of outputs.

Structured Input Parser Accepts free-form English descriptions and extracts: indicator selection, entry/exit conditions, risk parameters, timeframe context, and long/short direction. Ambiguous inputs trigger a clarification prompt before generation — not a broken output.

CLI + Module Modes Run as a command-line tool for rapid iteration, or import the generator class directly into your own Python workflow for programmatic strategy generation pipelines.

🗺️ Roadmap

v0.1.x — Foundation (✅ Shipped)

• V5 system prompt architecture with type constraint encoding
• Post-generation syntax validator (14 error signature patterns)
• Backtest-ready strategy() block auto-population
• CLI interface with --mode preview safe mode
• .env based API key management
• Structured input parser for plain English descriptions

v0.2.x — Depth Layer (🔨 Active Development)

• V4→V5 migration mode: paste broken V4 code, receive corrected V5
• Multi-condition entry builder (AND/OR logic from natural language)
• Inline backtest parameter suggestions based on strategy type
• Expanded validator: 30+ error signatures including runtime warnings
• --interactive mode for iterative strategy refinement in one session

v0.3.x — Intelligence Layer (🔜 Planned)

• Strategy complexity classifier (scalp / swing / position — auto-adjusts generation parameters)
• Common indicator library with V5-native implementations (VWAP, Supertrend, Ichimoku)
• Batch generation: describe 5 strategies, generate all 5 in one run
• Output diff mode: compare two strategy versions side-by-side

The private extended build includes multi-timeframe confluence logic, portfolio-level strategy generation across correlated instruments, and automated TradingView backtest result parsing. See below.

---

🔒 Want the Full Strategy Engine?

This public repository contains the core generation and validation pipeline. It is production-quality and genuinely useful.

The private build goes further.

It includes the components that take strategy generation from "generates correct code" to "generates correct code that is also structurally sound as a trading system" — multi-timeframe confluence injection, automated risk sizing logic, backtest result parsing that reads TradingView's strategy tester output and flags statistically weak results before you waste time on them.

That build is not being open-sourced. It is available to a small number of traders and developers on a case-by-case basis.

This is for you if:

Profile	Why this matters to you
🧠 Quant-curious retail trader	You have 5–10 strategy ideas you've never been able to test because you can't write Pine. This closes that gap in an afternoon.
⚙️ Developer building a trading product	You need programmatic strategy generation as a backend service — the private build exposes a clean API interface for that.
📊 Active TradingView user	You already backtest manually and want to 10x the volume of strategies you can evaluate per week without hiring a Pine developer.
🏦 Prop firm / small fund researcher	You want systematic strategy prototyping before committing development resources to a full implementation.

How to reach out:

Find Rezzecup on GitHub: github.com/Rezzecup

When you message, include three things:

1. What you're currently using to write or generate PineScript (even if the answer is "nothing works")
2. The type of strategies you trade or want to test (trend-following, mean-reversion, breakout, etc.)
3. Whether you need CLI usage, Python module integration, or the full private build

That context makes the conversation worth having for both sides.

Traders who have done the work to find this section are the ones this is built for.
