tradingview-reader

Agent skill fromhimself65/finance-skills

Read the user's local TradingView desktop app through opencli: quotes, options chains with greeks and per-strike IV, options expiries, screener results across stocks, crypto, forex, futures, and bonds, gainers and losers, news headlines and full stories, alerts (active, fired, offline fires), watchlists including colored flag lists, symbol search, chart state, and chart screenshots. Use this skill whenever the user asks for any of these from TradingView ("TV") — for example an options chain, puts, or IV skew for a ticker, an oversold-stock screen, their red flag list, which alerts fired, or a screenshot of their chart. For plain quotes, TA readouts, scans, or futures without the desktop app, prefer tradingview-mcp. Read-only: it never places trades or edits watchlists, alerts, or layouts.

5Reads TradingView's desktop macOS app for quotes, options chains, and chart state via [opencli](https://github.com/jackwener/opencli) and a CDP attach to the running TradingView.app process. Powered by the `tradingview` plugin in this repo's [`opencli-plugins/tradingview`](https://github.com/himself65/finance-skills/tree/main/opencli-plugins/tradingview) tree (a separate plugin from opencli's built-in adapters, installed via opencli's monorepo subpath syntax).

7**This skill is read-only.** Designed for analysis: pulling options chains, checking IV/greeks, capturing chart state. It does NOT place trades, post ideas, modify watchlists, or change chart layouts.

9> **Headless alternative**: for plain quotes, TA readouts, screeners, futures, or a greeks-free options chain, prefer the sibling `tradingview-mcp` skill (bundled MCP server, no desktop app, no CDP relaunch). Use *this* skill when you need greeks / per-strike IV skew, expiries with contract counts, or account-bound data (watchlists, alerts, charts, TV news).
