You are going to install the TradingView MCP server and configure it for a crypto
trading workflow. Follow these steps in order. At each step, if something fails,
report the error clearly and stop - do not continue past a failure.

- MCP installed and connected: yes/no
- Rules file created at: [path]
- TradingView connected on port 9222: yes/no
- Current BTC price: [number]

If all five items pass, the setup is complete.

When to use: Right after setup. Tell viewers this is optional but highly recommended.

Edit my Claude Code settings to pre-approve all TradingView MCP tools so I stop
getting permission prompts for them.
Open ~/.claude/settings.json. If the file doesn't exist, create it. If it exists
and already has a permissions.allow array, merge the new entries into it - do not
overwrite any existing rules.
Add this entry to the allow list:
mcp__tradingview__*
Final file should look like this (merging with anything already there):
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [
"mcp__tradingview__*"
]
}
}
After saving, confirm the file contents back to me. Then tell me to restart Claude
Code for the new permissions to take effect.
Reminder: viewers must fully quit and restart Claude Code after this for it to take effect.

Analyse this BTC chart and give me the best long and short opportunities right
now. If you find good setups, ask me whether I want you to draw them on the chart.
Backup prompts (if the first read comes back weak):
None
Look at my current chart. Identify the key support and resistance levels, the
market structure, and any clear trade setups. Then offer to draw your analysis
directly onto the chart.
None
I want a full technical breakdown of whatever chart I have open right now. Market
structure, key levels, potential entries and invalidations. Then draw your
findings on the chart.

None
Build me an indicator that prints a buy label when RSI crosses up through 30, and
a sell label when RSI crosses down through 70, but only when price is on the right
side of the 200 EMA. Write the Pine Script, inject it into TradingView, compile
it, fix any errors, and save it to my account.
Follow-up prompt (for the "tweak it" moment on camera):
None
Now modify that indicator so it only fires signals when volume is above the
20-period average. Recompile and save.

None
Given the current chart, where's the cleanest invalidation if I long here? And
what's the first level of resistance I'd take partial profit on? Use the actual
indicators on my chart, not general market commentary.
Backup prompts (for variety if the first doesn't land well):
None
Looking at the current state of this chart, what's the highest-probability trade
setup right now? Give me entry, stop, and target with reasoning grounded in what's
visible.

If I'm bearish this chart, walk me through the cleanest short setup given what's
on screen right now. Include where I'd be wrong.

None
Scan my top ten crypto majors on the daily timeframe. Find the three with the
cleanest bullish market structure - higher highs, higher lows, price above the 50
EMA. For each of those three, set a price alert at the most recent swing high.
Take a screenshot of each chart and save it to ~/Desktop/setups-tonight. At the
end, give me a summary list of the three symbols, their levels, and confirm the
alerts are live.
If this takes too long on camera: trim to "scan my top five majors" instead of ten.

Oscar - anything interesting in the majors right now?
None
Oscar, give me a quick read on BTC and ETH right now.

Oscar, what setups are triggering on my watchlist today?
