How to create your free account
Go to tradingview.com
Click “Get started for free”. Sign up with Google, email, or Apple ID.
Pick the free plan
Paid tiers will be offered — ignore them and select “Basic” (free). It works for everything we need.
Open a chart
In the top search bar, type the asset: EUR/USD, BTCUSD, or Volatility 75 (for Deriv). The chart opens instantly.
How to use the Pine Editor for AI indicators
Here’s the magic: AI generates Pine Script code → you paste in TradingView → indicator works.
Open Pine Editor
At the bottom of the screen, click the “Pine Editor” tab. If it’s not there, click the 3-dots menu and enable it.
Paste the AI code
Delete the default code. Paste (Ctrl+V) the Pine Script code that ChatGPT or Claude generated. See our ready-to-use prompts.
Add to chart
Click “Add to chart” (blue button). Done — your custom indicator appears on the chart!
Set up alerts
Right-click the indicator → “Create Alert”. Set the condition and get email/push notifications when the signal fires.
Integrating with Deriv and IQ Option
Recommended workflow:
- TradingView for analysis and AI indicator signals
- Deriv Bot / Deriv Trader / IQ Option to execute trades
- Use TradingView alerts to know when to trade
For full automation:
- Deriv: Convert the Pine Script strategy to Python (ask AI) and use the Deriv API. Or ask AI to build an EA in MQL5 for Deriv MT5.
- IQ Option: Use TradingView alerts + manual execution on IQ Option. Automation via the unofficial API has account ban risk.

Example: RSI indicator with AI on TradingView
Ask ChatGPT or Claude:
Create a Pine Script v5 indicator that shows green buy arrows when RSI crosses below 30 and red sell arrows when it crosses above 70. Add alerts and paint the background. Comments in English.
