TradingView MCP Live Chart Reader
Connect Claude Code to TradingView desktop via the Trading View MCP so Claude reads live chart code, switches timeframes, and adds indicators on command.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I could help you adjust your TradingView chart. You'd need to open TradingView desktop and make those changes manually. You could switch to the 4H timeframe by clicking the timeframe selector, add Bitcoin by searching for the ticker symbol, and then add the indicators from the indicators menu. It takes a few clicks but is pretty straightforward once you know where the buttons are. Do you want to do this yourself or would you like me to walk you through the steps?
Executing TradingView natural language command... ACTION SEQUENCE (via MCP) 1. Switch chart to BTCUSD (Bitcoin USD) 2. Set timeframe to 4H (4-hour candles) 3.
