Programming Pinescript for an EMA Indicator

Education
AMEX:IWM   iShares Russell 2000 ETF
This is a tutorial on how to program a simple, EMA indicator in pinescript.

I use pinescript heavily in my day to day trading and, as I am not a coder, I struggled at the start to try and find resources on how to program using it.
So I thought I would provide a brief video tutorial on very basic, fundamental aspects of pinescript by having you create your very own, functional indicator!
At the same time as creating an indicator, it will give you a sense of the fundamental basics of pinescript that will hopefully make you feel a bit more comfortable in tackling projects on your own.

Of course, I can't cover all of the functionality and all of the options in a 20 minute video, but this will give you a strong foundation to perform basic to more intermediate tasks with pinescript, if this is something you are interested in.

I do plan on doing more quantitative based tutorials this year, and many of my methods utilize pinescript heavily. So before I do that, I figured its good to give you a basic understanding of pinescript before showing you more advanced stuff of what I do.

Please note, I am not a coder and only started learning this stuff last year. Coding was very scary and I perceived it as "impossible" for me to learn. But here I am, not even a full year later and have been able to learn a ton, with much thanks to the tradingview community! If I can do it, so can you!

If you would like to see more tutorials on pinescript functionality and more advanced functions, please let me know and I am happy to continue to build on these fundamentals for you to develop more advanced skills.

As always, take care, thanks for watching and safe trades everyone!
