- Node.js, installed once as a dependency of the MCP connector.
- The connector is a community-built MCP — not official TradingView software. Read its GitHub page's disclaimer before installing anything.
Prompts
Five AI workflows
Each prompt below is a cleaned-up version of the course's own example — copy it, swap in your ticker/timeframe/indicator, paste it into Claude once it's connected.
01
Market structure
PromptFind the most important swing points on this chart using only the visible candles. Mark the major swing highs and swing lows, and tell me if we're in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Key point: your own market-structure knowledge is the quality check — verify the marked swings against what you'd have drawn yourself before acting on them.

02
Support & resistance levels
PromptFind the most significant levels on this chart, starting from the beginning of 2024. Draw the levels that many traders are paying attention to — think all-time highs, levels tested multiple times, and levels with unusually high volume. Take your time, and make sure you have a good reason for drawing each level.
Key point: pause and eyeball the levels before trusting them — AI can draw a technically-defensible line that's more precise than a real level should be (a zone, not a tick).

03
Indicators
Prompt — add & style an indicatorOpen a Simple Moving Average indicator using the indicators tab (not the API). Set the length to 50, change the color to purple, and make it the thickest line available.
Prompt — research a named settingAdd a MACD indicator using the indicators tab, then change its settings to Linda Raschke's settings. Look up the correct values yourself — don't ask me for them.
Key point: know the indicator yourself before asking AI to read it for you — you can't tell a good read from a confident-sounding wrong one otherwise. "Confluence" = multiple signals agreeing at once.

04
Multi-timeframe analysis
PromptAnalyze the chart I'm looking at right now on three timeframes: daily, 1-hour, and 5-minute. If you're unclear on anything — the exact period, the format I want, anything — ask me before you start.
Key point: higher timeframe sets the bias, lower timeframe times the entry. This is the prompt to lean hardest on "ask me if unclear" — the request is genuinely ambiguous without it.

05
Build a rules-based strategy
PromptHelp me build a simple trading strategy using the Simple Moving Average on the screen: buy when price crosses above it, sell when price crosses below it. Don't touch TradingView yet — just write out the exact rules in text so I can review them first.
Key point: a strategy needs exact entry/exit/stop/target rules → backtest → paper trade, in that order. AI helping write the rules faster doesn't skip any of those steps before real money.

Prompts are cleaned-up versions of examples from the user-supplied transcript of Mind Math Money's "MASTER AI Trading in 70 Minutes (Full Claude + TradingView Course)", through the start of the strategy-building workflow. The course's intro also covers backtesting, AI-assisted risk management, alerts, and a daily routine — not in the supplied transcript, so not included here. Paste more and this page can be extended.
