Is this course worth my time and money?

Because this is a highly subjective question relating to personal experience, conditions, knowledge, mental characteristics, and states; the answer depends on the person taking this course a.k.a. YOU.

With that in mind let me offer some objectives for your perceptions.

• There is more than 21 hours of content in this course. You could theoretically learn Pine Script in a day and you don’t need to look anywhere else. I say in a day because 9 hours of the content is from version 4

• I teach you how to get past TradingView’s three indicator limit and show you techniques that allow you to monitor more than one asset on a chart. All on the free account. Yes, this course saves you the cost of a TradingView pro subscription.

• I've spent almost 10 years learning what I know now. I've consolidated and condensed that knowledge into this course, so you can be confident you are learning the right things the right way. By doing this, I am saving you time so you don't have to do 10,000 google searches piecing together outdated blog posts, youtube tutorials, and difficult documentation. Put simply, you can learn all this stuff on your own and it will take you a while. Or you could take my course and I can teach you everything in 12 hours.

• If you ever get stuck, I am available to answer questions and help you out! I have been working with Pine Script  since 2015 and have extensive experience building indicators and backtesting strategies for myself and clients. I have worked with Python, Javascript, C++, C, and other Domain-Specific Languages like mql4 within the sphere of financial analysis and quantitative analysis. I’ve come across many frameworks for building and testing strategies, and can honestly say that Pine Script is now my go-to backtesting engine. It hasn’t always been that way, but Pine Script has been rapidly evolving and finally can do the things I need it to do rapidly.

• I will continually improve and update the course as new features are added to Pine.

• Finally, you can always get your money back if you're not satisfied!
