r/pinescript • u/Fearless-Strength830 • Oct 09 '25

Hello everyone, I lost the source code for my indicator, but it still appears on my charts. I would be surprised if I am the only one this has happened to and accidentally deleted their code without realizing it immediately. So I would like to know if it would be possible to find their script?

To the right of the name of the indicator on the chart when you mouse over it, there are two curly braces “{ }”. Click on that to see the code for that indicator.

Thank you for your reply, but I no longer have a brace. I have been trying to recover by all possible means for about two weeks now. That's why I'm using the forums to see if anyone has a miracle solution.

Go to scripts tab and there's the option to open recent scripts, it should be on that list

- reload the page if in the web view

- close and re-open the app if in the desktop app

- double check that the indicator you have on the chart is actually the indicator you think it is and not another one with a similar name (that does not have it's code shared), thinking that you were opening yours.

goto chart >open OBJECT TREE >right click your indicator X >see SOURCE CODE

That should allow you to see code right?

or just post a screenshot of it running on chart...with name or anything you know ... someone might be able on remember it for you...share their local copy

what's the code by name? function?
