Stop renting trading signals. Build Pine v6 TradingView indicators you can test, alert, and trade yourself, then publish the free version as proof and rent the stronger one — the docs folder, the CLAUDE.md rules, the four-part prompts, the breakeven-SL fix, and the alert-to-Claude webhook loop, no Python required.

A good TradingView signal can do two things: help you catch trades earlier, and become the product other traders pay to use. Most chartists are on the wrong side of both. They pay for signals instead of owning the logic, chase 93% backtests without knowing whether the strategy is real, and ask Claude Code for one Pine script only to paste errors back ten times. This is a build book for signal systems: the ./docs folder, the CLAUDE.md rules, the four-part prompts, the indicators, the strategies, the alerts, the webhook loop, the gotchas card, and the public-library publishing path. If you can read a chart but cannot write Pine from scratch, this is your weekend build book.

What You'll Build

01
The Chartist Who Followed Miles and Got Stuck

The $40 single-session shock and the ChartSmith identity pivot that sells the rest of the book.

02
Who This Is For (and Who Should Buy a Different Book)

Names the chartist buyer; sends the Python algo trader and the signal-shopper elsewhere.

03
Pine Script v6 Fluency in 14 Pages

Just enough Pine v6 to read what Claude writes back and spot the gotcha before the chart trips.

04
Give Claude the Manual First: The RAG Setup

The verbatim ./docs + CLAUDE.md scaffold that ends the paste-back loop. The highest-impact chapter.

05
The Four-Part Prompting Framework for Pine

Goal, Constraint, Verification, Output: three prompts ship an indicator instead of ten tries.

06
Indicators 1-3: RSI Confluence, Divergence, S/R Bounces

Three runnable indicators, each teaching one Pine pattern Claude consistently misses.

07
Strategies 4-7: Entry, Exit, Position Sizing, Multi-Timeframe

Four strategies plus the breakeven stop-loss fill-vs-touch fix written out the way Reddit fixed it.

08
Alerts and the Alert-to-Claude Loop

Wire a strategy to a public webhook and a 3-line Claude analysis, honest about the Pro+ tier wall.

09
Backtest Discipline: What Your 93% Win Rate Is Actually Telling You

Walk-forward, the silent look-ahead trap, and the 14-point lie a missing [1] offset hides.

10
The Token Budget: Build Without Burning $40 on One Indicator

The receipt math and the one cache toggle that turns a $38 session into $3.84.

11
Pine Gotchas Reference: The Bug Patterns Claude Hits

The print-and-tape 15-row error-to-fix card with the CLAUDE.md clause that prevents each one.

12
What's Next: Publish, Monetize, and Know When to Pivot

Publish to TradingView's library, three monetization paths, and when Pine's limits actually matter.
