✨ Features

🎯 100% Pine Script v6 Coverage

• 6,665 language constructs from official TradingView reference
• 457+ functions with autocomplete (ta., math., str., array., etc.)
• 31 constant namespaces (xloc, yloc, extend, scale, display, etc.)
• 22 function namespaces with full parameter validation
• 32 strategy. variables* (position_size, equity, netprofit, etc.)

🧠 Semantic checks — catches code that compiles and is still wrong

• Repainting — request.security() reading the current, forming bar
• ta.* in a conditional — silently corrupts the indicator's own history
• Accumulator lifetime — a var total a loop re-adds to every bar and never resets, so it grows for the life of the chart
• Scope errors — plot/bgcolor inside if, functions defined in a block
• Platform limits — 64 plots, 40 request.*() calls, counted before TradingView rejects you
• Unbounded risk — strategy.entry with no exit anywhere

Suppress one you have considered: // pine-ignore: S1

🔍 Real-Time Validation

• Catches undefined functions and variables
• Detects missing/extra parameters
• Validates namespace properties
• Zero false positives on the golden corpus — four committed fixtures exercising every construct that has ever produced one, asserted clean on every commit, plus real scripts checked locally

💡 Intelligent IntelliSense

• Smart autocomplete for all built-in functions
• Parameter hints with type information
• Hover documentation
• Namespace-aware suggestions

📝 Syntax Highlighting

• Complete Pine Script v6 syntax support
• Built-in variables and constants
• Keywords, operators, and functions
• Comments and strings

📖 Usage Examples

Valid Pine Script v6 Code

//@version=6
indicator("My Indicator", overlay=true)

// All valid v6 syntax - no false positives! ✅
length = input.int(14, "Length")
source = input.source(close, "Source")

// Technical analysis with autocomplete
sma_value = ta.sma(source, length)
ema_value = ta.ema(source, length)
rsi_value = ta.rsi(source, 14)

// Math functions with precision parameter
rounded = math.round(close, 2)  // ✅ v0.4.4+ supports precision
max_val = math.max(open, close)

// Strategy variables fully supported
if strategy.position_size > 0
    plot(strategy.equity, "Equity")
    plot(strategy.netprofit, "Net Profit")

// Plot with all v6 constants
plot(sma_value, "SMA", color=color.new(color.blue, 50), style=plot.style_line)
plot(ema_value, "EMA", color=color.new(color.red, 50), style=plot.style_linebr)

// All namespace constants work
x = xloc.bar_index
y = yloc.price
e = extend.both
s = scale.left

🔧 Configuration

The extension works out of the box with zero configuration. All Pine Script v6 features are automatically recognized.

📊 What's New in v0.6.1

Semantic checks — catches code that compiles and is still wrong

Repainting request.security, ta.* inside conditionals, scope errors, platform limits, entries with no exit. Suppress one you have considered with // pine-ignore: S1.

The engine is now a package

Published as pinescript-v6-validator and shared with the agent plugin, so both cannot disagree about a file.

False positives eliminated (0.5.x)

The coordinate forms of line.new, label.new and box.new are official v6 overloads, but the bundled reference only carried the chart.point form — so correct code lit up red. Overloads are now modelled properly.

// Before v0.5.0: 10 errors on these three lines. Now: clean. ✅
line.new(x1=bar_index[1], y1=low[1], x2=bar_index, y2=high)
label.new(x=bar_index, y=high, text="hi")
box.new(left=bar_index[5], top=high, right=bar_index, bottom=low)

Also fixed: for … in loop iterators, comments and blank lines inside wrapped calls, nested parentheses in arguments, user-defined type/enum namespaces, and two indentation rules TradingView removed in December 2025.

12.8× faster

A 1,302-line script validates in 12.3ms, down from 158ms.

Caught up with Pine v6

Ten months of TradingView releases the bundled reference was missing — multiline strings ("""…"""), request.footprint(), calc_on_every_history_tick, sort_field, active on inputs, timeframe_bars_back, syminfo.isin, box.set_xloc().

A real test gate

67 → 169 tests, including a golden corpus asserted to produce zero errors and paired "must still flag" cases for every fix — so a check can never be quietly deleted instead of repaired.

See CHANGELOG for complete version history.

🧪 Testing

• 169/169 tests passing (100%)
• Golden corpus: four committed fixtures asserted to produce zero errors, and proven able to fail — reintroducing a fixed bug turns them red
• Paired regression tests: every false-positive fix ships with a "must still flag" counterpart, so a check cannot be silently deleted instead of repaired
• Performance budget: enforced in CI (<100ms for a 1,300-line script)

npm test                          # full suite
node validate-cli.js file.pine    # headless single-file validation
