Capstone

Nifty 50 Momentum Screener

Build a screener that scans a list of Nifty 50 stocks and shows, for each, whether momentum, trend, volume and new-high conditions are met, with a 0–4 score column. Attach it to a chart, test it, and present it at the Week 4 live review session.

Practice on AlphaSync

Coming Soon

Practice exercises in AlphaSync's simulated environment are planned for this course. Until AlphaSync is available, practice uses paper trading and the tools named in the curriculum.

Instructors

Instructor profiles are published once each instructor has approved their profile and credentials have been verified.

Assessment

Five project submissions (source code and screenshots) and participation in the Week 4 live screener review session.

Certification

Certification details available soon.

Frequently asked questions

I have absolutely zero coding experience. Will I be able to follow this?

Yes — you are exactly the learner this course is designed for. Pine Script needs no installation or configuration: you open TradingView in your browser, open the Pine Editor and start typing. The syntax is clean and the error messages are readable. Learners who type the code along with every lesson, rather than watching passively, make the fastest progress.

Can I use Pine Script for Indian stocks and indices?

Yes. TradingView has comprehensive NSE and BSE data, and every exercise in this course uses Indian market symbols. Your scripts will also work on any other symbol TradingView has data for.

How is this different from using free indicators on TradingView?

Published indicators are fine until they stop working, produce signals you don't understand or don't match your rules. Without Pine Script knowledge you cannot modify them. The multi-condition alert system and custom screener in this course require writing your own logic — the goal is to build exactly what you need and understand what your tools do.
