description

Read TradingView desktop app for market data, news, alerts, watchlists, and screener results using opencli (read-only). Use this skill whenever the user wants quotes, options chains, options expiries, screener results across stocks/crypto/forex/futures/bonds, gainers/losers/movers, news headlines or full story bodies, alerts (active list, fire log, offline fires), watchlists including colored flag lists, symbol search/autocomplete, chart state, or screenshots from their local TradingView.app. Triggers include: "options chain for X", "IV on Y", "show me SNDK puts", "TV screener for Y sector", "screen oversold stocks", "TV gainers", "crypto by market cap", "TradingView news on AAPL", "show my watchlists", "red flag list", "list my alerts", "what alerts fired", "search TV for nvidia", "what symbol is on my chart", "screenshot NVDA chart", "TradingView IV skew", "TV expiries for X". This skill is READ-ONLY — it does NOT place trades, modify watchlists, or change chart layouts.

TradingView Reader (Read-Only)

Reads TradingView's desktop macOS app for quotes, options chains, and chart state via opencli and a CDP attach to the running TradingView.app process. Powered by the tradingview plugin in this repo's opencli-plugins/tradingview tree (a separate plugin from opencli's built-in adapters, installed via opencli's monorepo subpath syntax).

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.

Important: Unlike browser-based opencli readers (twitter, linkedin), this one talks directly to a running TradingView desktop app over Chrome DevTools Protocol. The user must (a) have TradingView.app installed, and (b) be logged in inside that app. The plugin handles relaunching with the debug port.

How it works: data commands harvest session cookies via CDP , then fire HTTP requests from Node directly. Page-context fetch is blocked by browser CORS preflight even from TradingView's own pages — the desktop app uses Electron's main process (Node network stack) to bypass this, and we replicate that path. No Browser Bridge extension required, no registration needed.
