From Pine
Forge API 1Updated 1 Oct 2026
A Pine indicator maps to an fg.Indicator and a Pine strategy to an fg.Strategy. The names differ more than the ideas: outputs replace plot, settings replace input, and the ta module carries the indicators you know.
What is different
- Forge works on whole arrays. A Pine script runs once per bar and
close[1]is the previous bar. A Forgecalculatefills arrays, and a strategy'scomputereturns signals for every bar at once. - Closed bars only. Pine recalculates the forming bar on every tick, so a value can change before the bar ends. Forge decides on closed bars.
- No look-ahead switch. A higher-timeframe series is visible only after its own bar has closed.
- Missing values are NaN, and
fg.nzandfg.isnareplacenzandna.
The traps page lists the mistakes that cost the most.
Then read
Start with repainting and look-ahead, which names repainting as Pine does, and bar close and fills.
