## Description

Query TradingView market data through the bundled tradingview MCP server without a desktop app or login. Use whenever the user wants a technical analysis readout (RSI, MACD, Bollinger rating, BUY/SELL summary), multi-timeframe alignment (weekly→daily→4h→1h→15m), exchange-wide scans (Bollinger squeeze, volume breakout, consecutive candles, smart volume), top gainers/losers by exchange, futures market data (NQ/ES/CL/GC overview, overnight movers, category snapshots), pre-market / after-hours quotes, a quick options chain or unusual options activity (volume/OI by strike), bulk stock prices, a global market snapshot, strategy backtests (Sharpe, drawdown, win rate), or crypto exchange scans. Triggers include "TA on X", "multi-timeframe read", "BB squeeze scan", "futures movers", "NQ overnight", "pre-market price", "unusual options activity", "backtest RSI on AAPL", and "top gainers on NASDAQ". For options greeks, watchlists, alerts, or chart screenshots use tradingview-reader instead.

# TradingView MCP (Headless Market Data)

Market data via the bundled [`tradingview` MCP server](https://github.com/atilaahmettaner/tradingview-mcp), TradingView's public scanner API plus Yahoo Finance, spoken over MCP. **No TradingView desktop app or account.** Most tools need no API key. The server ships with the full plugin (`mcp.json` for portable/Codex packages, `.mcp.json` for legacy clients) and starts when enabled in a host that supports local stdio MCP processes. Its 39 tools appear under the plugin's `tradingview` MCP namespace (load them through the client's deferred-tool mechanism when necessary). Installing only the skill does not install the MCP server; use the full `finance-data-providers` plugin or configure the server separately.

**Read-only.** Nothing here places trades or mutates any account.

## When to use this vs the other data skills

| Need | Skill |
|---|---|
| Quotes, TA readout, indicator ratings, multi-timeframe alignment | **this skill** |
| Exchange-wide scans: squeeze / volume breakout / gainers / losers | **this skill** |
| Futures (NQ, ES, CL, GC…) overview, movers, category quotes | **this skill** |
| Pre-market / after-hours price | **this skill** |
| Options chain quick look (bid/ask/IV/OI, **no greeks**), unusual activity | **this skill** (fallback / positioning scan) |
| Options chain **with greeks** (delta/gamma/theta/vega), IV skew, expiries with contract counts | `tradingview-reader` (desktop app) |
| Watchlists, alerts, TV news, chart state / screenshots, custom-column screener | `tradingview-reader` (desktop app) |

Rule of thumb: this skill first for anything price/TA/scan shaped, it needs zero setup and won't force a CDP relaunch of the user's TradingView app. Drop to `tradingview-reader` only for greeks or account-bound data (watchlists, alerts, charts).
