Run Pine Script Inside MetaTrader 5

Yes. PineChart is an MQL5 Expert Advisor that runs Pine Script indicators directly inside MetaTrader 5. You paste your Pine Script source file into the MT5 Files directory, type the filename in the EA input, and PineChart's built-in interpreter executes the script on every bar — no manual conversion to MQL5 is needed. It currently supports 609 out of 768 Pine Script functions (approximately 79% of the full API), including moving averages, oscillators, drawing objects, and more.

No. PineChart includes a full Pine Script interpreter built entirely in MQL5. It has its own lexer, parser, and per-bar execution engine that reads your .txt Pine Script files at runtime. You never touch MQL5 code. Just place your Pine Script source file in the MT5 Files directory, specify the filename in the EA settings, and PineChart handles the rest — tokenizing, parsing the AST, and executing each bar with the correct Pine Script semantics.

PineChart currently implements 609 out of 768 Pine Script v5/v6 API functions (approximately 79%). This includes: 69 technical analysis functions (SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, SuperTrend, Parabolic SAR, DMI, CCI, ATR, and more), 47 array functions, 17 string functions, and all 14 input types, full strategy order functions (entry, close, exit, cancel), drawing objects (line, label, box, hline), tables, request.security() for multi-timeframe data, user-defined types and functions, and all control flow (if/else, for, while, switch, var/varip). See the API coverage section above for a category-by-category breakdown.

Yes. PineChart supports Pine Script strategies with real order execution through MQL5's CTrade library. You can use strategy.entry(), strategy.close(), strategy.close_all(), strategy.exit(), strategy.order(), strategy.cancel(), and strategy.cancel_all(). Strategy properties like strategy.position_size, strategy.equity, strategy.netprofit, and strategy.openprofit are also available. Strategies run in MT5's Strategy Tester for backtesting and can execute live trades on a real or demo account.

Manual porting means rewriting every Pine Script line in MQL5 — a different language with different data models, no series semantics, and no built-in TA library. This takes hours or days per indicator, requires MQL5 expertise, and you have to redo the work every time the original Pine Script changes. PineChart eliminates all of that: drop in your Pine Script source file and it runs as-is. The built-in interpreter faithfully reproduces Pine Script's per-bar execution model, NA propagation, series reverse-access semantics, and 609+ implemented Pine API functions/features. You also get a modern TradingView-style charting UI for free.

Yes. PineChart supports multi-indicator mode via a comma-separated list in the InpIndicators input. Each indicator gets its own isolated execution context (PineContext, UDT pool, table pool, cached AST) while sharing bar data, the PlotManager, DrawingStore, and SecurityDataPool. You can also run one optional strategy alongside your indicators using the InpStrategy input.

PineChart runs as a standard MQL5 Expert Advisor, so it works with any MetaTrader 5 broker. There are no special server-side requirements. As long as your broker provides a standard MT5 terminal, PineChart will run. For strategy execution and live trading, order compatibility depends on your broker's supported filling modes and order types, but the core Pine Script indicator functionality works universally.

If your Pine Script calls a function that PineChart hasn't implemented yet, the interpreter will log a message in the Experts tab identifying the unsupported function. Unsupported functions typically return na (not available) or 0, depending on context, so the rest of your script continues to execute. The API is actively being expanded — currently at 79% coverage (609 of 768 functions) with regular updates adding new namespaces and built-ins.

PineChart is not TradingView and is not affiliated with TradingView. It is an independent MQL5 Expert Advisor that provides two things: (1) a Pine Script interpreter that can execute Pine v5/v6 source code inside MetaTrader 5, and (2) a modern, TradingView-style charting interface with smooth, lag-free rendering. It does not connect to TradingView's servers or use TradingView's data. All market data comes from your MT5 broker. Think of PineChart as bringing Pine Script compatibility and a modern charting UI to the MT5 ecosystem.

PineChart is available on the MQL5 Marketplace. Visit the marketplace listing to see the current pricing, download the free demo, read user reviews, and purchase. After purchase, the EA is installed directly into your MetaTrader 5 terminal and is ready to use immediately.
