How To Actually Use Claude Code for Trading (TradingView MCP Complete Setup Guide 2026)

I connected Claude AI directly to my TradingView desktop; no chatbot screenshots, no copy-pasting. This is a live connection that reads your charts, builds Pine Script strategies, backtests them, and even coaches you candle by candle.

In this video I walk you through the entire setup from scratch and show you what’s possible once you’re connected.

📋 ONE-SHOT SETUP PROMPT (copy & paste into Claude Code):

Set up TradingView MCP Jackson for me. Clone https://github.com/LewisWJackson/tradingview-mcp-jackson.git to ~/tradingview-mcp-jackson, run npm install, then add it to my MCP config at ~/.claude/.mcp.json (merge with any existing servers, don’t overwrite them). The config block is: { “mcpServers”: { “tradingview”: { “command”: “node”, “args”: [“/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/tradingview-mcp-jackson/src/server.js”] } } } — replace YOUR_USERNAME with my actual username. Then copy rules.example.json to rules.json and open it so I can fill in my trading rules. Finally restart and verify with tv_health_check.
