Pine Script error: script could not be translated from `null`

Pine Script error: script could not be translated from `null`

crisroxz Teacher

I am relatively new to Pine Script and I am trying to create a script that would alert me whenever the price of a stock reaches certain levels. Here is my code:

study(title="Price Alert", overlay=true)
alertcondition(title='Price Alert', message='The price of this stock has reached 100', condition=close > 100)

However, when I try to compile this code, I get an error message that says “Script could not be translated from null”. I have tried looking through the Pine Script documentation and searching online for solutions, but I haven’t been able to find anything that addresses this issue. Can someone with more experience in Pine Script help me figure out what is causing this error and how to fix it?
In addition to the code above, I have also tried creating a similar script that would alert me when the price reaches a certain moving average, but I am still encountering the same error message. Here is the code for that script:

study(title="MA Alert", overlay=true)
ma = sma(close, 20)
alertcondition(title='MA Alert', message='The price of this stock has crossed its 20-period moving average', condition=close > ma)

Any assistance with resolving this error would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello there,
    It seems that you might be facing an issue with Pine Script. Based on the error message “Script could not be translated from null”, it appears that there is a syntax error in your script or a missing parameter that Pine Script couldn’t interpret.
    To fix this issue, the first step is to double-check your code and make sure that you haven’t made any errors or typo mistakes. If you’re unable to identify the issue, try to break down the code into smaller sections and test them individually to see where the error might be coming from.
    Another common issue that causes this error is incorrect usage of built-in functions or variables. Make sure that you’re using the right syntax and parameters for each function and that you’re not trying to use variables that have not been defined or incorrectly defined.
    Moreover, you may want to consider updating your Pine Editor to the latest version. It’s possible that the error is being caused by a bug in an old version of the editor that has since been fixed.
    Lastly, if none of the above methods work, consider reaching out to the Pine Script community or the Pine Script support team for further assistance. They may have more specific suggestions based on your code and circumstances.
    I hope this helps you in resolving your issue. Let me know if there is anything else that needs to be explained or discussed. Good luck with your coding efforts!

    To solve this error, it is likely that your Pine script code is outdated and not compatible with the version of TradingView you are currently using. You can try upgrading your code to the latest version of Pine script or checking for any syntax errors in your code. Another possibility is that there is an issue with TradingView’s servers. In this case, it is best to contact TradingView’s support team for assistance.

    From my own experience, I have encountered similar errors when working with Pine script. One time, I was trying to run a script that worked perfectly fine on an older version of TradingView, but when I upgraded to a newer version, I received the same error message. After going through my code and upgrading it to the latest version of Pine script, the error was fixed and the script ran without any issues.

    Overall, the solution to this issue depends on the specific circumstances of your code and TradingView version. I suggest checking for syntax errors and upgrading to the latest Pine script version to see if that resolves the error. If you are still experiencing issues, contacting TradingView’s support team would be the best course of action.

    To resolve this error message, you should ensure that the Pine script code you are trying to use is syntactically correct and adheres to the correct syntax rules. Make sure all your variables are defined and have the correct data type. Additionally, double-check to ensure that all functions are properly called with the correct number of arguments.
    It’s also important to confirm that the Pine script version you are using is compatible with the features used in the script. Ensure that you are using the correct syntax for the version of Pine script you are using. Pine script updates frequently, so it’s important to keep up-to-date with the latest release features and syntax changes.
    Another common source of this error message could be an issue in the Pine script compiler. Check if there is an update to the compiler or if there is a known bug that has already been fixed in a newer version.

    Finally, if none of the previous solutions fix your problem, consider reaching out to the developers of the Pine script, as they may have specific knowledge regarding the code you are trying to run. Check any documentation or online forums for support or contact the script’s author directly for guidance.

    From my knowledge and expertise, the “script could not be translated from null” error message usually occurs when the script being used is not compatible with the platform it is being used on. This is often seen when trying to run Pine scripts written for one platform, such as TradingView, on a different platform, such as MetaTrader.

    If you are experiencing this error, I would recommend checking that the Pine script being used is compatible with the platform it is being executed on. Additionally, ensuring that the latest version of the platform is being used, in case there have been updates or bug fixes that may resolve the issue, is also recommended.

    In my own coding experiences, I have encountered similar issues when trying to run scripts on different platforms. Often, it simply comes down to compatibility and ensuring that the correct version of the script is being used for the specific platform. I hope this helps!
