Where Pineify Fits

- You want a quick first draft of Pine or a no-code way to sketch a TradingView idea.

- You do not yet need run history, parameter snapshots, or repeatable analysis artifacts.

- You are still validating whether the strategy idea is worth deeper research at all.

Where Vigil Fits

- You need screenshot-to-rule extraction, a Pine starter, and a place to preserve strategy context instead of losing it in chat threads.

- You want TradingView Strategy Tester CSV imports tied back to a saved analysis, script version, and notes.

- You want a research layer around TradingView that keeps run history, fitness analysis, and manual iteration context visible.

Explicit Boundary

- Vigil is not a full optimizer or batch experimentation system yet.

- Vigil is not a desktop Pine IDE or execution engine.

- If your workflow depends on one-click massive search-space exploration today, this page should stay secondary to an optimizer-specific evaluation.

Original Value Modules

These blocks make the page useful as a decision document, not just a keyword target.

Sample Artifact Schema

A useful workflow ends in an artifact you can review later, not just a headline result.

- Run ID and analysis ID so each test stays tied to a specific strategy record.

- Pine script version, parameter snapshot, and notes describing what changed.

- Imported stats, fitness analysis, and artifact links for later comparison.

Backtest Interpretation Guide

Explain how to read the evidence rather than worshipping one metric.

- Read quality of evidence first: sample size, drawdown profile, and consistency matter more than a single net-profit number.

- Look for whether each run preserves enough context to explain why the outcome changed.

- Reject workflows that produce results you cannot reconstruct two weeks later.
