Import TradingView Pine Script into FlyTradr

FlyTradr does not frame Pine import as a magical replacement for understanding your strategy. It is a workflow shortcut. You start from an existing TradingView strategy, convert supported logic into editable builder rules, and keep moving inside the same validation environment.

That matters because the real work usually begins after a strategy idea exists. You still need to review the logic, check the risk settings, test behavior across historical periods, and see how the strategy behaves in more realistic forward-looking stages.

The imported strategy does not stay trapped inside a code block. It becomes part of FlyTradr's strategy workflow. You can inspect indicators, conditions, and risk rules visually, then move into backtesting, simulation, and paper trading without switching mental models.

This makes the capability useful for traders who want to preserve prior TradingView work while still moving into a no-code environment for ongoing refinement and validation.

Unsupported features should not fail silently. FlyTradr surfaces warnings and unsupported items in the conversion report so you can see what was converted, what needs review, and where manual edits may still be required.

That is the more credible posture for this feature. It is better to expose the limits of conversion than to imply perfect parity and let hidden mistakes survive until backtesting or live execution.

FlyTradr currently handles many common Pine strategy patterns well enough to move them into the no-code builder workflow. This includes strategy name extraction, percent-of-equity sizing, `strategy.entry(...)` long and short rules under `if` conditions, basic `strategy.close(...)` exits, and many common `ta.*` indicators such as SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, KAMA, DEMA, TEMA, RSI, MACD, ATR, ADX, Supertrend, SAR, ROC, CCI, MFI, OBV, CMF, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, Aroon, Stochastic, and Ichimoku-style outputs.

Common condition patterns are also supported, including crossover and crossunder rules, boolean `and` / `or` / `not` logic, standard numeric comparisons, highest and lowest lookbacks, rising and falling checks, `barsSince(...)`, and simple spread-style conditions such as `fast - slow > 0` where the equivalent can be expressed safely in FlyTradr DSL.

Some imports are intentionally treated as partial support rather than full parity. Examples include `strategy.exit(...)` rules using trailing or absolute-price arguments, custom order sizing that does not map neatly into FlyTradr risk settings, and limited higher-timeframe imports via `request.security(...)` when the expression is simple enough to become a higher-timeframe indicator definition.

These cases are still useful, but they should be reviewed after conversion. The correct standard is not whether the import produced output. It is whether the translated logic still matches your trading intent.

FlyTradr is a Pine compatibility converter, not a full Pine runtime. Complex `request.security(...)` expressions, arrays, loops, runtime drawing state, custom state machines, arbitrary computed series, and heavily custom indicator calculations are not fully supported yet.

Visual and alert-only constructs such as `plot(...)`, `label.*`, `line.*`, `box.*`, and `alertcondition(...)` are also not treated as equivalent trading logic support. Those elements may still matter for the original script, but they do not automatically become executable strategy behavior inside FlyTradr.

TradingView is often where traders first learn to formalize ideas. FlyTradr becomes relevant when those traders want a clearer path from imported idea to staged validation and execution readiness.

In practical terms, the message is simple: use TradingView to explore and prototype, then use FlyTradr to review, customize, test, simulate, and prepare the strategy for a more disciplined execution workflow.
