tradingview-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

tradingview-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from btanaji/tradingview-mcp. It costs 5,707 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide that gives Claude Code the current architecture, files, tools, setup notes, and design rules for a TradingView market-data project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to resume development, locate important code, understand the available market-analysis tools, and follow the project’s backtesting constraints.
Why use it?
It prevents each new coding session from starting without the project’s background or repeating work. It also clarifies that the backtests use local price files rather than live broker connections.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is btanaji/tradingview-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on tradingview-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tradingview-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tradingview-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

tradingview-mcp-custom — Project State

This file is auto-loaded by Claude Code at the start of any session rooted here. It summarizes the current architecture, what's been built, known gaps, and where a follow-up session should pick up. A companion PDF (TradingView_MCP_Session_Knowledge.pdf, delivered to the user separately) covers the ICT/SMC concepts and case studies in more depth with diagrams — this file is the engineering/state summary.

Architecture: 3 independent backtest engines, one shared cost/metrics layer

All strategy files are .txt. All engines read local CSV OHLCV data only — no live network/broker calls (config: TV_MCP_CSV_DATA_DIR, default ~/Claude/data; symbol currently used throughout: XAUUSD, data from 2020-01-02 to present across M1/M5/M15/M30/H1/H4/D1).

  1. Generic proxy (custom_strategy_service.py) — swing-pivot zone detector (_find_swings), used only when a .txt file's NAME doesn't match the ICT registry.
  2. ICT registry (ict_strategies.py + ict_detectors.py) — 26 hand-coded Python zone providers (18 original + 8 added this session: CRT_Turtle_Soup, HTF_POI_Stop_Raid, FVG_Inducement, Full_Confluence, Consolidation_Box, IFVG_Reversal), matched by file NAME via STRATEGY_REGISTRY. Files live in ~/Claude/strategies/.
  3. pine_lite (pine_lite/ + pine_strategy_service.py) — a CONSTRAINED Pine Script subset transpiler (tokenizer → parser → validator → evaluator). Files live in ~/Claude/pine_strategies/ (config: TV_MCP_PINE_STRATEGIES_DIR). NOT a full Pine interpreter — no request.security, for/while, var/varip, arrays, user-defined types/methods, native strategy.entry/exit. The validator collects EVERY unsupported construct before any evaluation is attempted — never partial/silent execution. See pine_lite/__init__.py for the exact supported subset.

Shared foundation: backtest_service.py's _apply_costs/_calc_metrics/ _buy_and_hold_return — same metrics shape from every tool.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
