What is tradingview?

This is a Claude Code plugin that gives an AI coding assistant read only access to TradingView market data: stock quotes, candlestick history, technical indicators, options chains, news, watchlists, alerts, and chart screenshots, all through slash commands typed directly in Claude Code. The plugin works by launching a headless Chrome browser, meaning Chrome running invisibly in the background, and using the Chrome DevTools Protocol, a low level interface for controlling the browser programmatically, to extract data from TradingView's internal chart engine. This approach lets the plugin access data that TradingView does not expose through a public API, including multi timeframe K-line history pulled directly from the chart's internal data store. Technical indicators like MACD, RSI, KDJ, Bollinger Bands, EMA, and SMA are computed locally on the extracted data. You log in to TradingView once using a provided slash command. The session cookies are saved to disk and automatically restored in future sessions so you do not need to log in again. A built in monitor daemon keeps Chrome running in the background, performs health checks every ten seconds, and automatically restarts the browser if it crashes. The plugin exposes 17 slash commands covering the full data surface: quotes, K-line history, options chain, screener, symbol search, news, watchlists, price alerts, current chart state, and screenshots. It also includes three guided workflow skills for screener scans, options analysis, and news research. The plugin is strictly read only, it cannot place trades or modify TradingView data. Written in Python, it requires the uv package manager.
