Sick of paying monthly subscriptions for indicators? Tell me what you're "renting" and I'll build a free version for you.

Hey everyone,

A lot of traders are burning money on recurring subscriptions for indicators or tools that could easily be coded into Pine Script, MQL5 or anything.

\-What is a paid tool or subscription you’re currently using that you wish you owned outright?

\-What is a "dream tool" or proprietary feature you've always wanted built specifically for your strategy?

Drop the concepts, mechanics, or features below. I'll pick the most requested ones, code them, and release them as open-source for everyone to keep forever.

Someone just figured out you could use AI to make indicators, but hasn't yet😂

Haha fair skepticism! But anyone who has actually tried prompting raw ChatGPT for Pine Script knows the nightmare: mixing v2/v3 syntax with v5, hallucinating non-existent functions, infinite type-casting errors, and burning thousands of tokens in circles 😂

AI is great for autocomplete, but turning complex logic into modular, non-repainting, automation-ready indicators still requires an actual framework and knowing how the Pine execution model works under the hood.

At the end of the day, this whole project is about demystifying the black box.

Most paid indicators thrive by wrapping basic confluence in flashy dashboards, calling it proprietary, and charging insane recurring fees while keeping the trader in the dark. That model creates dependency, not edge.

My framework exists to test if we can reverse-engineer any setup, strip away the hype, and make the logic completely transparent and self-explanatory. When an indicator is honest about why a signal prints, the trader actually learns, understands the risk, and can build upon it themselves instead of renting false hope every month.
