Indicators
Create custom technical analysis indicators with PineTS scripting
Indicators are custom technical analysis scripts that run on market data in TradingGoose. They are powered by PineTS, a JavaScript/TypeScript runtime for Pine Script, extended with TradingGoose-specific features like workflow triggers.
What Can You Build?
- Technical indicators — RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, or your own custom calculations
- Signal generators — Detect crossovers, breakouts, or custom conditions
- Workflow triggers — Fire workflow executions when indicator conditions are met using the
trigger()API - Visual overlays — Plot lines, shapes, and fills directly on the chart
How It Works
Write PineTS code in the Indicator Editor using familiar Pine Script syntax adapted for JavaScript/TypeScript
Define inputs with input.int(), input.float(), etc. — these become configurable parameters in the UI
Calculate using 57+ built-in technical analysis functions (ta.*), math operations, arrays, and more
Visualize with plot(), plotshape(), fill(), bgcolor() and other chart rendering functions
Trigger workflows by calling trigger() when conditions are met — connecting indicators to your automation pipelines
Quick Example
indicator('RSI Signal', { overlay: false });
const length = input.int(14, 'RSI Length');
const overbought = input.int(70, 'Overbought');
const oversold = input.int(30, 'Oversold');
const rsi = ta.rsi(close, length);
plot(rsi, 'RSI', { color: '#2962FF' });
hline(overbought, { color: '#FF0000', linestyle: hline.style_dashed });
hline(oversold, { color: '#00FF00', linestyle: hline.style_dashed });
// Trigger a workflow when RSI crosses below oversold
if (ta.crossunder(rsi, oversold)) {
trigger('rsi_oversold', {
condition: ta.crossunder(rsi, oversold),
input: 'RSI crossed below oversold threshold',
signal: 'long',
position: 'belowBar',
color: '#00FF00'
});
}Built-in Indicators
TradingGoose ships with 80+ pre-built indicators covering momentum, trend, volatility, and volume analysis. These serve as both ready-to-use tools and reference examples for writing your own.
PineTS is based on Pine Script v5/v6 syntax. If you're familiar with TradingView's Pine Script, you'll feel right at home — the main difference is using JavaScript variable declarations (const, let, var) instead of Pine Script's implicit declarations.
