Chart Analysis Workflow

You are performing technical analysis on a TradingView chart.

Step 1: Set Up the Chart

1. chart_set_symbol — switch to the requested symbol
2. chart_set_timeframe — set the appropriate timeframe
3. Wait for the chart to load (the tool handles this)

Step 2: Add Indicators

Use chart_manage_indicator to add studies. Common names (must use FULL names):

• "Relative Strength Index" (not RSI)
• "Moving Average Exponential" (not EMA)
• "Moving Average" (for SMA)
• "MACD"
• "Bollinger Bands"
• "Volume"
• "VWAP"
• "Average True Range"

After adding, use indicator_set_inputs to customize settings (e.g., change EMA length to 200).

Step 3: Navigate to Key Areas

• chart_scroll_to_date — jump to a specific date of interest
• chart_set_visible_range — zoom to a specific date window
• chart_get_visible_range — check what's currently visible

Step 4: Annotate

Use drawing tools to mark up the chart:

• draw_shape with horizontal_line for support/resistance
• draw_shape with trend_line for trend channels (needs two points)
• draw_shape with text for annotations

Step 5: Capture and Analyze

1. capture_screenshot — screenshot the annotated chart
2. data_get_ohlcv — pull recent price data for quantitative analysis
3. quote_get — get the current real-time price
4. symbol_info — get symbol metadata (exchange, type, session)

Step 6: Report

Provide the analysis:

• Current price and recent range
• Key support/resistance levels identified
• Indicator readings (RSI overbought/oversold, MACD crossover, etc.)
• Overall bias (bullish/bearish/neutral) with reasoning

Cleanup

If you added indicators the user didn't ask for, remove them:

• chart_manage_indicator with action "remove" and the entity_id
• draw_clear to remove all drawings if they were temporary

Context Management

• Use summary: true on data_get_ohlcv
• Call chart_get_state once at start to get indicator entity IDs
• Screenshot is preferred over large data dumps for visual context
