What is PineTS?

PineTS is a TypeScript runtime for Pine Script®. It transpiles native v6 or v5 source and executes it with the same time series model: lookbacks, incremental TA, and plot outputs you can read from code.

You write the indicator once. PineTS runs it on your data, in your process.

Documentation

import { PineTS, Provider } from 'pinets';

const pineTS = new PineTS(Provider.Binance, 'BTCUSDT', '1h', 100);

// Run native Pine Script® directly
const { plots } = await pineTS.run(`
//@version=6
indicator("EMA Cross")
plot(ta.ema(close, 9), "Fast", color.blue)
plot(ta.ema(close, 21), "Slow", color.red)
`);

Why PineTS?

Pine Script® is built for the chart. PineTS is built for everything around it.

Quick Start

Installation

npm install pinets

Hello World

A minimal example:

import { PineTS, Provider } from 'pinets';

// Initialize with Binance data
const pineTS = new PineTS(Provider.Binance, 'BTCUSDT', '1h', 100);

// Calculate a simple moving average
const { plots } = await pineTS.run(`
//@version=6
indicator("My First Indicator")
sma20 = ta.sma(close, 20)
plot(sma20, "SMA 20")
`);

console.log('SMA values:', plots['SMA 20'].data);

plots is a map of series you can log, store, or feed into the rest of your stack.

Features

• Native Pine Script® v6: run original TradingView® code directly (experimental)
• 60+ TA functions: SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and more
• Time series semantics: lookbacks, var / let persistence, bar state
• Live streaming: recalculate on new bars with an event based API
• Multiple timeframes: request.security() for MTF indicators
• High precision: matches TradingView®'s calculation precision
• Your data: Binance, FMP, Alpaca, or any OHLCV array

Two Ways to Write Indicators

PineTS accepts native Pine Script® or a JavaScript friendly syntax. Both compile to the same runtime.

Native Pine Script®

//@version=6
indicator("RSI Strategy")

rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
sma = ta.sma(rsi, 10)

plot(rsi, "RSI")
plot(sma, "Signal")

PineTS Syntax (JavaScript)

//@PineTS
indicator('RSI Strategy');

const rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14);
const sma = ta.sma(rsi, 10);

plot(rsi, 'RSI');
plot(sma, 'Signal');

Usage

Running Native Pine Script®

Pass Pine Script® source to pineTS.run() and read the calculated series from plots:

import { PineTS, Provider } from 'pinets';

const pineTS = new PineTS(Provider.Binance, 'BTCUSDT', 'D', 200);

const { plots } = await pineTS.run(`
//@version=6
indicator("MACD", overlay=false)

[macdLine, signalLine, hist] = ta.macd(close, 12, 26, 9)

plot(macdLine, "MACD", color.blue)
plot(signalLine, "Signal", color.orange)
plot(hist, "Histogram", color.gray, style=plot.style_histogram)
`);

// Access the calculated values
console.log('MACD Line:', plots['MACD'].data);
console.log('Signal Line:', plots['Signal'].data);

Using PineTS Syntax

The same indicators can be written as a JavaScript function using $.data and $.pine:

import { PineTS, Provider } from 'pinets';

const pineTS = new PineTS(Provider.Binance, 'ETHUSDT', '4h', 100);

const { plots } = await pineTS.run(($) => {
    const { close, high, low } = $.data;
    const { ta, plot, plotchar } = $.pine;

    // Calculate indicators
    const ema9 = ta.ema(close, 9);
    const ema21 = ta.ema(close, 21);
    const atr = ta.atr(14);

    // Detect crossovers
    const bullish = ta.crossover(ema9, ema21);
    const bearish = ta.crossunder(ema9, ema21);

    // Plot results
    plot(ema9, 'Fast EMA');
    plot(ema21, 'Slow EMA');
    plotchar(bullish, 'Buy Signal');
    plotchar(bearish, 'Sell Signal');

    return { ema9, ema21, atr, bullish, bearish };
});

Streaming Live Data

pineTS.stream() recalculates on new bars and emits plot updates:

import { PineTS, Provider } from 'pinets';

const pineTS = new PineTS(Provider.Binance, 'BTCUSDT', '1m');

const stream = pineTS.stream(
    `
    //@version=6
    indicator("Live RSI")
    plot(ta.rsi(close, 14), "RSI")
    `,
    { live: true, interval: 1000 },
);

stream.on('data', (ctx) => {
    const rsi = ctx.plots['RSI'].data.slice(-1)[0].value;
    console.log(`RSI: ${rsi.toFixed(2)}`);

    if (rsi < 30) console.log('Oversold!');
    if (rsi > 70) console.log('Overbought!');
});

stream.on('error', (err) => console.error('Stream error:', err));

Custom Data Source

You can also pass your own OHLCV array instead of a market data provider:

import { PineTS } from 'pinets';

// Your own OHLCV data
const candles = [
    { open: 100, high: 105, low: 99, close: 103, volume: 1000, openTime: 1704067200000 },
    { open: 103, high: 108, low: 102, close: 107, volume: 1200, openTime: 1704153600000 },
    // ... more candles
];

const pineTS = new PineTS(candles);

const { plots } = await pineTS.run(`
//@version=6
indicator("Custom Data")
plot(ta.sma(close, 10))
`);

Charting with Vela

Vela is LuxAlgo's open-source charting library. It ships no scripting engine of its own. Vela PineTS is the addon that runs Pine Script® indicator() and strategy() scripts on the chart, through Vela's public ScriptingEngine port, in-process (PineEngine) or off the main thread (PineWorkerEngine).

npm install @luxalgo/vela-pinets @luxalgo/vela pinets

import { Vela } from '@luxalgo/vela';
import { PineEngine } from '@luxalgo/vela-pinets';

const chart = new Vela('#chart', { symbol: 'BTCUSDT', timeframe: '60', live: true });
chart.registerEngine('pine', new PineEngine());
chart.addIndicator(`
//@version=6
indicator("EMA 20", overlay=true)
plot(ta.ema(close, 20), color=color.orange, linewidth=2)
`);

Use PineWorkerEngine instead of PineEngine when a heavy script should not block the chart. A strategy() script runs through the same engine; Vela-pinets maps PineTS's broker-emulator trades onto Vela's price-pane trade markers. Mutable indicator() / strategy() declaration arguments appear on Vela's Properties tab.

Use with AI agents

pinets-cli runs Pine Script® files from the command line with PineTS. The script goes in as a file or on stdin and the plots come out as JSON, so an agent can call it as a tool without a wrapper. Its repository includes skills for Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and OpenClaw; see its AI agents guide.

npx pinets-cli run rsi.pine --symbol BTCUSDT --timeframe 60 --quiet
