1	# TradingView Reader (Read-Only)
2
3	Reads TradingView's desktop macOS app for quotes, options chains, and chart state via [opencli](https://github.com/jackwener/opencli) and a CDP attach to the running TradingView.app process. Powered by the `tradingview` plugin in this repo's [`opencli-plugins/tradingview`](https://github.com/himself65/finance-skills/tree/main/opencli-plugins/tradingview) tree (a separate plugin from opencli's built-in adapters, installed via opencli's monorepo subpath syntax).
4
5	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.
6
7	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.
8
9	How it works: data commands harvest session cookies via CDP `Storage.getCookies`, 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 `apps.yaml` registration needed.
10
11	---
12
13	## Step 1: Ensure opencli + Plugin Are Installed and Ready
14
15	Current environment status:
16
17	```
18	!`(command -v opencli && opencli tradingview status 2>&1 \| head -5 && echo "READY" \|\| echo "SETUP_NEEDED") 2>/dev/null \|\| echo "NOT_INSTALLED"`
19	```
20
21	If the status above shows `READY`, skip to Step 2. Otherwise:
22
23	### NOT_INSTALLED — Install opencli
24
25	```bash
26	npm install -g @jackwener/opencli
27	```
28
29	Requires Node.js >= 21 (or Bun >= 1.0).
30
31	### SETUP_NEEDED — Install the TradingView plugin and launch with CDP
32
33	The TradingView adapter is not built into opencli — it's a separate plugin:
34
35	```bash
36	# Install the plugin
37	opencli plugin install github:himself65/finance-skills/tradingview
38
39	# Relaunch TradingView.app with CDP enabled (one-time per session)
40	opencli tradingview launch
41	```
42
43	The `launch` step quits the running TradingView and reopens it with `--remote-debugging-port=9222`. Warn the user to save chart layouts first if they have unsaved drawings.
44
45	### Common setup issues
46
47	\| Symptom \| Fix \|
48	\|---\|---\|
49	\| `opencli: command not found` \| `npm install -g @jackwener/opencli` (Node ≥ 22 for built-in WebSocket) \|
50	\| `Unknown command: tradingview` \| `opencli plugin install github:himself65/finance-skills/tradingview` \|
51	\| `Cannot reach CDP at http://127.0.0.1:9222` \| App not launched with debug port — run `opencli tradingview launch` \|
52	\| `No tradingview.com cookies found` \| App is open but logged out — log in inside the desktop app \|
53	\| `No TradingView tab found` \| Open any chart or symbol page in TradingView, then retry \|
54	\| Empty chain / 0 contracts \| Subscription tier on the logged-in account doesn't include options for this symbol \|
55
56	---
57
58	## Step 2: Identify What the User Needs
59
60	### Setup / chart inspection
61
62	\| User Request \| Command \| Key Flags \|
63	\|---\|---\|---\|
