Instructor
Matthew J. Slabosz
Programmer & Systematic Trader
I am a trader from Queensland, Australia.
I've been trading the financial markets since 2017, and I've been a programmer since 2005.
I specialize in the Pine Script coding language and systematic trading development.
I run the trading blog & YouTube channel The Art of Trading with the help of my partner Jade.
I'm here to teach coding techniques and pass on the knowledge I've learned from the fantastic mentors I've had over the years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pine Script is the programming language used to create custom indicators, tools and strategy backtesting scripts for the TradingView charting platform. It's a light-weight cloud-based language that is easy to learn, easy to use and easy to distribute. Unlike other languages such as MQL, Pine Script runs right in your browser - and continues to run even after you close it.
Forever! The Pine Script Basics Course is completely free for life.
No, there is no support for the free course. But if you're interested in taking the next steps in your coding journey after going through the Basics course, support is provided in the Pine Script Mastery Course so make sure to check that out!
If you want me to help write code specifically for your script then send an email to support for a pricing quote - but keep in mind that it will be expensive as I do not have a lot of spare time to work on other traders' scripts as it distracts from my own trading profits & development.
While it is definitely an advantage to have a premium account and I do recommend traders upgrade if they're serious about their trading, if you're not ready to upgrade yet you can start for free. The main advantage of having a premium TradingView account is to set unlimited script alerts, gain access to some advanced features or publish your own paid scripts. But all professionals have professional tools, so at some point you will want to upgrade.
If you are unsatisfied with the content in any of my paid courses, please send me an email explaining the problem so that I can try to rectify it. But in the unlikely event that you are still dissatisfied with your experience then you can request a refund within 30 days of your payment. I do not offer refunds for subscription plans, but you can cancel your subscription at any time.
