SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Getting TradingView-style market data normally requires the desktop app or a logged-in account. This Skill provides read-only, headless access to TradingView scanner data and Yahoo Finance through a bundled MCP server, so you can run technical analysis, market scans, and backtests with zero setup. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Technical Analysis & Multi-Timeframe Reads: Get RSI, MACD, Bollinger ratings, and weekly-to-15-minute trend alignment for any stock or crypto symbol. - Exchange-Wide Scans & Futures Data: Screen for Bollinger squeezes, volume breakouts, top gainers/losers, and futures movers (NQ, ES, CL, GC) including pre-market and after-hours quotes. - Options Chains & Backtesting: Pull US options chains with volume/OI unusual-activity scans and run nine-strategy or walk-forward backtests with Sharpe, drawdown, and win-rate metrics. - Use Case: Ask for a multi-timeframe read on NVDA before earnings, then scan NASDAQ for BB squeeze candidates and check unusual options activity — all without opening TradingView. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run a technical analysis readout on a symbol, for example: give me a multi-timeframe TA read on AAPL including RSI, MACD, and Bollinger rating.

Frequently Asked Questions about tradingview-mcp

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get TradingView technical analysis without the desktop app?▼

Use the bundled tradingview MCP server, which queries TradingView's public scanner API and Yahoo Finance headlessly. Tools like coin_analysis and multi_timeframe_analysis return RSI, MACD, Bollinger ratings, and trend alignment with no login required.

How to scan for Bollinger squeeze or volume breakout stocks?▼

Call bollinger_scan with an exchange, timeframe, and BBW threshold to find low-volatility squeeze candidates, or use volume_breakout_scanner and smart_volume_scanner for volume-plus-price breakout detection. Always pass the exchange explicitly since it defaults to KUCOIN.

tradingview-mcp vs tradingview-reader: which should I use?▼

Use tradingview-mcp for price, TA, scans, futures, and quick options chains since it needs zero setup. Use tradingview-reader only when you need options greeks, IV skew, watchlists, alerts, or chart screenshots, which require the logged-in macOS desktop app.

Does the options chain data include greeks like delta and gamma?▼

No. The stock_options_chain tool returns strike, last, bid/ask, volume, open interest, IV, and ITM flags from Yahoo, but no delta, gamma, theta, or vega. For greeks and IV skew, use the tradingview-reader skill with the desktop app.

Why are the tradingview MCP tools missing after installing the plugin?▼

The agent must be restarted after enabling the plugin so the bundled MCP server loads. The first call also takes about 30 seconds because uvx downloads the pinned server and dependencies; later starts use the local uv cache.

What are the limitations of the backtesting tools?▼

Backtests are historical simulations over Yahoo data covering nine strategies like rsi, macd, and ema_cross, reporting Sharpe, max drawdown, and win rate versus buy-and-hold. They are not forecasts, so report the period, interval, and walk-forward overfitting verdict when available.
