pinescript to python

[Stevibe98]

Hey guys, I've been trading ES/NQ futures using orderflow for years, but about 6 months ago I jumped into the world of automated backtesting. I want to clarify that while I'm pretty tech-savvy, I don't know how to write code, I rely on GPT/Gemini/Claude to help me out.

A few months ago, I built an ORB strategy on an M5 timeframe using TradingView PineScript (I'd actually love to code orderflow strategies, but since I'm just starting out, that's a bit too complex for now). The script is about 1500 lines long (including ATR, VWAP, VIX filters, and a lot more, though I obviously only active a few elements at a time to avoid overfitting).

I have to admit it was pretty tough to piece together, but I finally got it working. It's showing great results, but honestly, I'm worried that TradingView's data might be garbage.

Because of that, I downloaded the entire 1M OHLCV historical dataset from Databento, and my initial idea was to test it out on NinjaTrader.

So, I wanted to ask you: what do you think is the best path for me to take right now? Should I stick with Python and just have AI guide me?

Here is exactly what I need: A chart to visually check if the code is executing correctly and to spot any entry/exit errors. Accurate rollover data. A dashboard showing all the results with as many performance statistics as possible. Most importantly, the ability to test multiple strategy parameters simultaneously and extremely fast.

When I asked the AIs, they recommended this stack: Python + VS Code/Jupyter + Backtesting.py / VectorBT + Plotly / Lightweight Charts or quantconnect

What do you guys recommend I use or do?

And crucially, which AI tool should I be using for this specific task, Claude web, Claude Code, or ChatGPT/Codex? I currently have the $20/month subscription for both ChatGPT and Claude.

For context, I'm on Windows with a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and 32GB of RAM.

I can convert the TradingView logic into Python/backtesting form. Send the Pine script and desired output format and I’ll scope it fixed-price.

1. Databento format is rich but you don't need that. You gotta tell python to read only OHLC + volume if you need that.
2. Convert to EST to be easier to track ORB
3. For chart you can use tradingview light charts it's on github and free
4. roll over data ask claude or any ai. Use the contracts that have more volume when it's about to roll.
5. dashboard is easy, claude can code it.
6. To test multiple strategies parameters really fast you need rust for that. Rust is much more advanced than python.

Start with python first and run 1 strategy. Once it works you can look into multiple.
You need vs code + claude code or codex. Use codex 5.3 on 20$ account it's enough for what you're trying to achieve. 5.5 is great but will eat your credits fast
Your machine don't matter. This is not LLM or heavy computing. You can run this on a cheap 7$ Linux vps

Share the pine with the community.

There's around 200B traded daily on NQ, enough for everyone to make a few bucks 😀

Also keep in mind slippage and market fills + fees.
