Troubleshooting

Most Scribe Studio issues fall into a handful of clusters. Find the one that matches and apply the fix — almost every one resolves with the right prompt back into the same chat.

Code Does Not Compile

Paste the exact TradingView error and the full script back into Scribe. Ask for the corrected full script. Pine's compiler is strict about types, namespaces, and function signatures, so the exact error text is what lets Scribe localize the problem to the right line.

Strategy Has No Trades

A few possible reasons:

• Entry conditions are too strict for the symbol or date range.
• The strategy is long-only in a falling market, or short-only in a rising market.
• Position sizing or order logic is invalid.
• A session or timeframe filter is blocking trades.

Ask Scribe to inspect the entry conditions and add diagnostic plots that visualize when each condition is true. Seeing where the conditions almost align — and where they never do — usually surfaces the cause.

Indicator Plots Nothing

A few possible reasons:

• The plot is hidden behind price (try a contrasting color or a separate pane).
• The conditions are never true on the selected symbol or timeframe.
• The script is set to overlay = true when it should be in a pane (or vice versa).
• Values are na because not enough bars have loaded.

Ask Scribe to add diagnostic plots or labels that surface intermediate values. The output usually tells you which condition is failing.

Alert Condition Is Missing From TradingView

The script may not include alertcondition(), or the condition may be inside a strategy in a way TradingView does not expose to the alert dialog. Ask Scribe to add explicit alertcondition() calls for each signal and return the full updated script.

Image Result Is Inaccurate

Upload a clearer screenshot and describe in text exactly which elements matter and which can be ignored. If the original is a proprietary indicator with hidden logic, Scribe will approximate the visible behavior rather than recreate the exact formula. Read the assumptions Scribe returns alongside the code — that is where any gap between looks like and is will be flagged.

Output Is Too Complex

Ask Scribe to simplify:

Simplify this script. Keep only the core signal logic, basic plots,
and alerts. Remove extra filters and advanced visuals.
