Pine Script v6 migration checklist
These lines don't compile in v6, or behave differently. Check each one (TradingView's guide).
- Line 1: Script targets Pine Script v5 (current is v6)Caution
Line 1 declares //@version=5. Changing the header alone does not convert the script: v6 changed how bools, division, conditions and some strategy settings behave.
Fix: Convert it with the Pine Editor's built-in converter (TradingView's migration guide shows where), then work through the items listed here.

What causes it
plot() has a linestyle argument in Pine v6 (solid, dashed or dotted) but not in v5. This is Pine v5's wording.
The fix, compiled
Change the first line to //@version=6 and pass plot.linestyle_dashed, plot.linestyle_dotted or plot.linestyle_solid.
//@version=5
indicator("My script")
plot(close, linestyle = plot.style_line)//@version=6
indicator("My script")
