Let’s cut the fluff.

You started on TradingView to trade, not to become a part-time developer debugging semicolons in Pine Script at 2 AM.

But somehow, that’s where we all end up — drowning in half-baked tutorials, Reddit threads that contradict each other, and YouTube videos with 3-hour Pine Script walkthroughs by a guy using Comic Sans.

Here’s the truth:
There’s a growing army of retail traders (me included) who don’t want to learn Pine Script — we just want something that works.

A bot. A strategy. A shortcut.
Something we can plug into TradingView without needing a CS degree.

So if you’re wondering:
“Where the hell can I find done-for-you Pine Script bots that actually perform?”
You’re in the right place.

Let me show you what I found — the gold, the scams, and what to avoid.

🧠 First: Why Most “Free Pine Scripts” Don’t Work

You’ve probably tried copy-pasting a script from TradingView’s public library.

And if you’re like me, it either:

Doesn’t compile
Backtests terribly
Gives false hope on paper trades, then bleeds in live trades

Why?

Because 90% of free Pine Scripts are:

Incomplete (missing risk management logic)
Overfitted to cherry-picked market conditions
Unverified — no performance transparency, no support

Free is tempting. But free can cost you more in lost trades and stress.

✅ So, Where Can You Actually Get Plug-and-Play Pine Script Bots?

Let’s go over legit places where traders are selling or sharing battle-tested Pine Scripts — with proof of concept and ongoing support.

1. TradingView Invite-Only Scripts

Many elite script creators offer “invite-only” indicators or bots on TradingView.

How to find them:
Look for authors with thousands of followers and consistent comments on their scripts.
How to access:
DM the creator or follow links in their script descriptions — most have a Telegram or Discord.
What to expect:
Monthly subscription fees ($20–$100/mo), often bundled with alerts, strategies, or community access.

✅ Pro tip: Look for traders who publish live trade performance screenshots, not just theoretical backtests.

2. Fiverr & Upwork (Custom or Prebuilt)

Outsourcing is underrated.
There are Pine Script wizards on Fiverr who’ll build exactly what you need — or sell you a bot they’ve already coded and tested.

Search terms to use:
“TradingView strategy,” “Pine Script bot,” “Trading indicator developer”
What you’ll pay:
$30–$300+ depending on complexity

✅ Pro tip: Ask for a demo on TradingView and proof that it’s compatible with v5 (latest Pine version).

3. Gumroad, Ko-fi, Payhip, and Indie Creator Shops

These platforms are goldmines for one-person bot shops.

You’ll find people selling:

Momentum scalping bots
Reversal strategies with alerts
RSI+MACD combo bots with dynamic risk management

How to find them:
Google “[indicator type] + Pine Script + Gumroad” or search Reddit trading subs.

✅ Red flag to avoid: If there’s no refund policy or preview video, skip it.

4. Reddit Communities (Surprisingly Good Leads)

Subs like:

r/TradingView
r/algotrading
r/PineScript

Often have threads like “Best bots you’ve bought?” or “Underrated Pine Script devs?”
Follow the comments — they’ll lead you to creators with a solid rep.

✅ Watch for upvotes AND timestamps. A 2022 recommendation might be outdated for 2025’s Pine Script v5 updates.

5. Discord & Telegram Trading Bots Networks

You’ll find entire communities sharing and selling Pine Script bots. Some are scams, yes — but others are run by full-time quant developers offering ongoing updates.

What to expect:
Private indicators, group coaching, automation integration (via webhook to brokers like 3Commas or MetaTrader).

✅ Ask to see:
