TradingView users often face issues with slow Pine Script indicators that result in lagging charts and freezing of the platform.
To optimize Pine Script indicators for speed, avoid excessive use of request.security() function, avoid unnecessary recalculations, reduce the number of plot() functions used, fetch multiple values in a single request for improved performance, use adjustable period inputs instead of multiple indicators, and use conditional expressions for faster processing.
Optimizing Pine Script for performance can result in smoother charts, faster script execution, and a reduction in indicator lag and freeze.
