Staring at a blank screen that stares back at you is not a happy experience. That’s especially true when you are anxious to get your trading strategy idea into code.

I can help relieve some of that anxiety, and give you a kick-start as an algorithmic trader. You can copy and paste this Pine Script strategy template into the Pine Editor to get started.

The strategy template is broken down into sections to keep your code organized by function. When you want to change or debug your code, that is a real time saver.

Rather than mess up the template with non-code references, I broke out some of the sections to add helpful commentary and links to more detail and code samples at TradingCode.Net and other reference sites

// — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
// STRATEGY PARAMETERS
// — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

This section is filled-out with the parameters I use for new strategy scripts. Other than changing the strategy name you can leave it as is.

It would be worth your while to review all the strategy settings. Margin and order settings can be complex.
