Converting Strategies to TradingView

Select Convert Strategy when you have complete automated-strategy source from another platform and want to recreate its behaviour in Pine Script v6. Conversion focuses on preserving the original rules rather than redesigning the system. Upload the original .txt, .cs, .mq4 or .mq5 file and describe the source platform and any behaviour that must be preserved.

Conversion tasks do not accept .pine files. When the source is already Pine Script, use Existing Strategy instead. Xen needs the complete entry, exit, order-management and risk logic; it cannot reproduce a strategy accurately from a name, summary or screenshot.

Convert a strategy to TradingView

How strategy conversion works

Trading platforms use different order models, lifecycle events, quantity units and multi-timeframe mechanisms. Xen maps the original intent where Pine provides a suitable equivalent and explains material differences. Contract or lot sizing may need to become TradingView quantity logic. Tick, pip and point distances need explicit conversion. Platform-managed order events may need to become bar-based strategy.entry, strategy.exit and position-state logic.

Pine strategies run through TradingView's broker emulator and cannot reproduce every feature of a desktop trading platform. Review the conversion notes carefully where the original depends on intrabar events, multiple simultaneous positions, custom order handling, account state, external libraries or platform services.

Source code and dependencies

Provide the complete original strategy and any custom indicators or libraries needed to understand its decisions. If a dependency cannot be supplied, describe its calculation and output rather than asking Xen to guess. Convert only code that you own or have permission to modify, and respect restrictions on redistribution or reverse engineering.

Test the converted strategy

Compile the complete result in Pine Editor and add it to a chart. Compare entries, exits, sizing, protective orders, sessions and higher-timeframe behaviour with the original using equivalent data and settings. Strategy Tester results can differ because platforms simulate fills and bar data differently. Resolve behavioural differences before adding improvements. If the original only calculates or displays market information, use Converting Indicators.
