What’s changing when publishing a Pine Script® indicator or strategy

§ 01 Executive Snapshot

• What: TradingView introduces a moderation process for publishing Pine Script indicators and strategies.
• Who: TradingView users and moderators.
• Why it matters: The change aims to enhance the quality of scripts available in community feeds and ensure compliance with publishing standards.

§ 02 Key Developments

• Starting August 14, 2023, all Pine Script publications must be approved by a moderator before appearing in community feeds.
• There are three possible outcomes for a publication after review: Suggested, Profile only, or Hidden for violations.
• Users can publish up to 5 new public scripts within 24 hours and up to 15 within 30 days to maintain fair visibility.

§ 03 Strategic Context

• The previous publish-first, review-later approach led to an overwhelming volume of scripts, making it difficult for users to find quality content.
• This change reflects a broader trend in online platforms where moderation is increasingly prioritized to enhance user experience and content integrity.

§ 04 Strategic Implications

• Immediate consequence: Users may experience delays in visibility for their scripts, which could affect engagement metrics.
• Long-term impact: Improved quality of published scripts may lead to higher user satisfaction and retention in the TradingView community.

§ 05 Risks & Constraints

• Potential risk of user dissatisfaction due to unclear review timelines and the lack of transparency in the review process.
• Risk of community backlash if moderation is perceived as overly restrictive or inconsistent.

§ 06 Watchlist / Forward Signals

• Future developments will focus on improving transparency in the review process and enhancing the social aspects of TradingView.
• Monitoring user feedback will be crucial to gauge the effectiveness of the new moderation system and any subsequent updates.
