TradingView Session Skill

A Claude Code skill that boots a full TradingView desktop trading session — launch, health check, knowledge-base verification, and a one-line status reply — from a single tv_start trigger.

Overview

I built this skill to remove the per-session ceremony of launching TradingView, attaching the Chrome DevTools Protocol port, and confirming my market rules file is loaded before I start trading. Typing tv_start runs the entire boot sequence end-to-end and replies with a six-line status block, so I know in one glance whether the session is ready or what the issue is.

Tech Stack

• Claude Code skill (Markdown front-matter + procedural body)
• TradingView Desktop with Chrome DevTools Protocol (--remote-debugging-port=9222)
• A companion TradingView MCP server that exposes tv_health_check, tv_launch, and chart-analysis tools
• A local rules.json knowledge base loaded on demand by the /trader_skill slash command

Features

• Single-trigger session boot — tv_start runs health check → launch fallback → knowledge-base verification → status report
• Self-healing launch — if the MCP tv_launch fails, falls back to a PowerShell launch with the correct CDP port
• Strict status format — replies in a fixed 3-line shape so the operator can read state at a glance
• Knowledge-base loader — /trader_skill pulls rules.json into context for chart analysis, F&O setups, and options strategy questions

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Claude Code installed and configured
• A running TradingView MCP server on the local machine
• TradingView Desktop installed
• A rules.json knowledge base file

Installation

git clone https://github.com/SayantoDutta/tradingview-session-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/tradingview-session

Or copy SKILL.md into the skills directory manually:

~/.claude/skills/tradingview-session/SKILL.md

Configuration

Open SKILL.md and edit the Environment table to match your local paths:

• TradingView MCP server install path
• Knowledge base location (rules.json)
• TradingView executable path (Windows uses C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\TradingView.Desktop_*.exe)
• CDP port (default 9222)

Running

In any Claude Code session, type:

tv_start

The skill replies in the format:

TradingView  : [CONNECTED — NIFTY | 15m]
Knowledge Base: [READY]
Status        : READY TO TRADE

Then use /trader_skill whenever you want chart analysis or F&O setup advice grounded in your rules.json.

Status

Active. Used daily on Indian-market sessions. Paths are operator-specific — edit SKILL.md once per machine.
