PineSeed

Overview

Pine Seeds is a service to import your custom data and access it via TradingView. This service allows you to: - connect your series data to TradingView - open it on the TradingView chart - use it in the custom indicators

refer: PineSeed Docs

Use TradingView as your frontend and use a GitHub repository as your backend.

Keep in mind that such data (we call them EOD data, short for End-of-Day) has certain limitations:

  • the data can only be updated 5 times per day
  • only daily-based timeframes (1D and above) can be applied to such data
  • the number of data elements (symbols) is limited to 6000
  • such data will not appear in the symbol search box

Setting up the service includes several steps:

  1. Setting up a repository.
  2. Data preparation.
  3. Manipulating data in the TradingView UI.

Example

You can take the seed_crypto_santiment project as a reference for your repository. The project has the proper structure for symbol data.

You can also open symbols from seed_crypto_santiment on the TradingView chart and work with it. For example, SEED_CRYPTO_SANTIMENT:BTC_DEV_ACTIVITY is an example of custom data integration. The symbol name is uniquely determined by the GitHub settings.

  • SEED is a required prefix.
  • CRYPTO is the account name github.com/crypto.
  • SANTIMENT is the suffix of the GitHib repository name github.com/crypto/seed_crypto_santiment. The suffix is needed so that you can use several repositories for different data groups, e.g., seed_<username>_<suffix1>, seed_<username>_<suffix2>.
  • BTC_DEV_ACTIVITY is the BTC_DEV_ACTIVITY.CSV data file name.

Using the built-in request.seed() function from the Pine Script™ language and the available data, you can build a chart.

//@version=5
indicator("BTC Dev Activity", format=format.volume)
//request.seed(source, symbol, expression)
activity = request.seed("seed_crypto_santiment", "BTC_DEV_ACTIVITY", close)
plot(activity, "BTC Dev Activity")
