The only place to properly learn Pine
This class is very professional and absolutely a must for anyone looking to take Pine script seriously. There is more than enough material to review. Any question you have will likely be answered in this course.
Domenic
Good Experience All Around
I knew 0 code before this course, it has surely got me off my feet. After a month i am pretty well versed but still of course need a lot of practice for more advanced script. Overall recommend for beginners..
GERALD
Pine script Mastery
This course is opening my eyes and mind to a whole new level of trading this is awesome thank you Matthew!
Konstantin
Best Pine Script Course.
One of the best programming courses I ever attended. The course syllabus is built in order, that is great both for programming and trading. From programming perspective, Matt uses very effective language to describe what is going on and names each element correctly, like in a good programming book. Great coding practices and amazing examples, very well demonstrated and easy to grasp. Each lesson touches real Technical Analysis situations here and there. I was super happy, that Matt adds real life information, explaining some trading situations/setups that might be connected to some coding example. I complemented learning this course with researching mentioned TA stuff and grown my undestanding of trading. This course presents a very effective "framework", i.e. the way of thinking, a minimalistic and clean phylosophy (probably why it's called Zen and Art ..., makes sense now). Matt is a talented presenter, with great humor and is engaging to follow. Loved the jokes, memes and easter eggs :) All is straight to the point, there is no encyclopedic fluff just for sake of "content". The quality of recording, voice, montage is top production level. This is very important for video course! The dashboard is awesome. 10 out of 10 on all points.

The best investment I have ever made
This course changed my life, I want to break that statement down. 1. This course teaches you how to fish, its breaks down the structure of how to analyze, execute and clean your code.(even when you have 0 coding skill which I did) 2. The content becomes an efficient and reusable library. 3. its value grows with your trading, what I mean by that is trading and coding are two different things. More I learned about trading the more I knew that I needed and could create tools to help me in my own trading, The more I realised how much of a great investment this was.(I joined in v4 and I saw this and bought immediately) 4. The EAP program , a perfect pairing to this fine wine :D. Trading and coding are two different things, the course that Matt learnt trading from, I took a chance on and that amazing investment again added to the fact that this course changed my life. 5. The art of trading team, have always exceeded my expectations. The level of professionalism when dealing with questions or concerns resolves the matter respectably and efficiently. In conclusion this coding course changed my life, from the effective educational content and structure that it teaches, to the practical compounding value it adds to my own trading. This course created, curated and maintained by the best pine-script teaching team, was the best investment I have ever made.
Mitchell
Spectacular!
Would highly recommend. Both the podcast and both pine script training courses have been very educational and enlightening.
Darrel
Excellent Course
Great instructor who explains each element very clearly.
Jim
SUPER INFORMATIVE AND WELL STRUCTURED COURSE!!! Worth EVERT cent paid for it!
Matt, thanks a lot for your courses! THEY ARE AMAZING! I haven't gone through something similar for quite some time, being compact (no bla-bla-bla), very informative and professionally structured. I am feeling like being in university again. Highly recommended to EVERYBODY who are thinking of using PINE! Your speed of learning it with Matt will be x2 or x4!!! Yes, you can read all PINE documentation, but practically you will hit the wall quite often. So get the shortcut and enjoy Matt's lessons!
Andrew
Great Course!
You can tell a lot of time and effort has gone into making this course. It is well laid and easy to follow and the explanations are clear. I really like how Matthew highlights possible error messages in a lot of his lessons. As a beginner this is very useful as it gives me an idea for what to look out for. I think my learning curve will be greatly reduced due to this course, particularly as it is very easy to identify which lesson to revisit when I need to work something out.
George
So far so good
Matt is a very easy guy to listen to and he has a wealth of info to pass along in a common sense way. I am about a third completed in this course and have learned much already. I am impressed and think the course is well worth taking. I look forward to the remaining course and the consequential success of my investments.
Derek
A wonderful complete course on Pine Script
This course provides exactly what you expect from a Pine Script course. It covers the language in massive detail with a ton of examples on how each part of the language could be used in the real world. I can't imagine how it could be improved upon. I'm 60% of the way through it and will definitely finish it.
Marut
If you want to become a better trader, then this course is for you.
I'm a beginner in pine script. This course very helped me to reach a new level. Sometimes it was very hard and overwhelming. I think I will come back and watch some videos again. Right know I'm not sure what I will use in my own scripts but I'm inspired and motivated to get to know more about how to code trading scripts. Thank you for this course.
Van
Mindblowing Masterpiece
Hi there, First, I want to thank you, Matthew, and everyone involved in this overwhelmingly detailed course. I've taken quite a few online courses in the past year, but this one is by far the best I've encountered. It's well-spoken, concise, and covers every single point that I was unsure about. You can really see the countless hours that went into this project! I'll stop by from time to time. Until then, take care!
Fernando
Excellent course
Matt is an excellent instructor, his lessons are clear and to the point. I don’t know him personally, but you can fell his passion for teaching and trading.
Teresa
Truly one of the most useful and well-taught courses ever!
This is an extremely well laid-out and easy to follow course. As a beginner to coding, it helped me gain the confidence and understanding necessary to set up my own trading strategies in an automated fashion. What an increase in profit - the ability to keep trading while you're asleep!
andre
Invaluable material
I am just starting with my trading and programming journey, and this course is amazing. It answers all the questions you might have about PineScript, offers you strategic suggestions, and points out countless ways to improve your trading
Nagendra
Great amount of knowledge earned
Thanks so much for preparing this course. There was absolutely no other training videos out there explaining Pinscript, in such detailed and professional manner. This has immensely increased by knowledge in PineScript programming and also improved my trading results.
Panayiotis
Exactly what I was looking for!
I found out about this course from one of Matt's videos on YouTube. I already watched some of his videos so I was expecting this Pine Script course to be good. However, Matt's course managed to exceed my expectations. This course assumes that you already know the most important concepts of trading (if you don't you should learn those first and then come back to this course) and teaches you how to use Pine Script to make your trading easier, either by creating helpful indicators, strategies to select which markets/timeframes to backtest or even automating your trading strategies (which is the main reason I bought this course). Matt has done and is still doing a great job with this course by updating it with new information over time. Even though I am experienced with programming, Matt simplified everything so that it is easier to understand for those who are new to programming.
Stephen
So Thankful I Found Matt's PineScript Mastery Course
Whilst I'm not a greenie to either trading or programming, it has been 20+ years since I was doing either. When I first heard about TradingView (TV) and Pine Script and what it can do I was excited but quickly got bogged down in trying to understand not just another programming language, but one based around trading data, and also the idiosyncrasies of the TV platform itself. Thankfully in trying to find answers to my programming/trading/tv questions I came across Matt's Zen and the Art of Trading YouTube videos which helped a lot, which led me to do his free Pine Script Basics Course which helped cement the progamming language even more. Then I couldn't resist signing up for his Pine Script Mastery course which not only further helped in understanding the programming syntax but they also opened my eyes to new ways of trading and writing systems and ultimately now, automating my systems. This course is well worth the expense and really is an investment in oneself. I've come a long way in my trading opportunities and now that I've just turned 60 and retiring I KNOW that trading will give me the financial future for an amazing retirement. Thanks Matt for all the hard work you've put into this course.

Brilliant.

Completed Introduction
Quite impressed. Very clear presentation.
Miroslav
Excellent content and support, I can only recommend it . . .
From the very beginning, watching your free YT channel, I was very impressed with your competence, skills, unique approach and personality. During the Pine Script Mastery Course, all my first impressions were fully confirmed. Excellent content and support, I can only recommend it . . . Matt many thanks for everything! Best regards, Miro
Aleksander
Great in depth course of practical Pine Script
I have done 50% of the course so far and I am really impressed with it. The author sincerely has a desire to share valuable and practical knowledge that can help you develop your trading systems. I like the fact that he uses a lot of real life examples of functions, indicators, strategies that can be applied and tweaked to your trading. I am happy I found this course through youtube, since I think learning to script strategies will help me tremendously in my trading workflow.
Cliff
Excellent Course, Excellent teacher
This is truly one of the best courses and teachers I have experienced! This includes formal education (up to and including a Masters of science degree ) and my many, many non-institutional online courses on a wide spectrum of topics. Thank you Matthew!
Harvey
Teaching at its very best!
This is an excellent course because it is well organized by covering the basics before moving on to the more advanced topics, the instructor keeps the student’s perspective in mind as he explains new material and the instructor manages to speak almost always in full, grammatically correct, clearly spoken sentences. Bravo!!! Money well spent!
Christian
PSMC Review - Best Online Coding Class
This is my first time applying to an "online coding class" and it was a really great learning process, the course material is super detailed and jammed pack with information about the Pine Script V5 language and last of all Mr Matthew was a superb teacher that can really teach complex subjects and make them easy to understand.
Rami
Best Pine Script Course. Period.
I'm absolutely new to programming , Matt is a great teacher and this course is well worth the money spent . I'm definitely paying for the lifetime access soon as I have the extra cash and also buying the other courses on offer.
Richard
This course is fantstic!!
This course is awesome. It takes one from knowing absolutely nothing about PineScript and gives one the knowledge to be able to code Indicators, Strategies and Libraries. When I started the course, I was skeptical about the value, but after watching the Basics course, I was convinced to try the Mastery course. Both courses far exceeded my expectations and I am so thankful to Matthew for spending the countless hours to record these lessons. They are worth every penny that you will spend on them. I can’t say enough about the Mastery course. It is simply fantastic!!
Donát
Amazing level up course
Matt taught me everything I needed! His Basics course introduced me to to the world of Pine Script and coding alltogether because I've never done it before. Even with that knowledge I was perfectly fine. 12 month later I've learnt more about trading in general, so I also wanted to level up my basic Pine Script skills. I speedran the course, got everything I needed: now it's time to practice. In the future I will come back to this course for sure because it has so much more depth. Thank you Matt for putting this well structured but most of all enjoyable course together!
Rob
Top Course, i love it, THANK YOU SO MUCH
I even love this guy, Matthew, it's extremly humble and good to share his incredible knowledge about pinescript. Thank you so much Matthe, please keep it like this
Jonathan
Perfect
I almost never write a review online, but I felt this course and its creator deserve some recognition. I've just completed the intro portion of the master course and I can already tell that this is just what I need to stream-line the learning process. Good job, and hope to see more content like this in the future! Looking forward to the next lesson! -Jon
Juan Jose
Learned a Ton
I have learned many aspects of Pine Script programming from Matt. Highly recommended.
Pat
Great course
I have never written code before so it was a real challenge for me. Matt was really thorough explaining everything. My favourite part was the test at the end. It has been well designed to ensure you understand where to find the answers and making me go through all the different information sources to find the answers.
carlos
Simply great!
Without even finishing this course I already have created my own scripts, modify several scripts to build my custom indicators with personalized alerts functions, mixing several indicators to work together for filters purposes and Matt explains very clear even for me that have no previous coding experience.

Matt has done an amazing job in his videos. I had previously taken some Pine Script classes but they do not compare with Matt's. I have learned SO much and am very grateful I found his course.
