Strategy Creation:
Some notes I put together last year...
1. Do I fully understand how and why each strategy works and the contextual environment?
2a. Do I understand my trade execution strategies and can I explain clearly what I'm looking for?
2b. Have I back tested and forward-tested the strategy across multiple market cycles?
3. Do I know the expectancy and edge of each setup?
4. How will I monitor for strategy decay or changing market conditions?
5. Have I accounted for execution costs, slippage, and live market conditions?
6. Is my performance statistically sound (strong Calmar, Sortino, etc.) with a large sample, robust across regimes?
Claude Code x TradingView is the best AI trading quant of all time.
Gone are the days of AI slop market analysis - AI is now better at technical analysis than you.
Here's how you can turn Claude Code into your expert trading quant (in <5 minutes):
Step 1. Ensure you have these requirements:
• Claude Code - installed on your computer (this is what talks to TradingView)
• Node.js 18+ - installed on your computer (the MCP server runs on this)
• TradingView Desktop app - downloaded from https://t.co/1YkJpaCU8L
• A valid TradingView subscription (paid plan for real-time data)
Step 2. Open Claude Code and run the following prompt to connect the TradingView MCP:
"Install the TradingView MCP server. Clone and explore https://t.co/k1Ql1o0CYi, run npm install, add to my MCP config at ~/.claude/.mcp.json, and launch TradingView with the debug port."
Step 3. Health check
Restart Claude Code, and paste this prompt:
"Use tv_health_check to confirm TradingView is connected."
If correctly connected, Claude Code should respond with a confirmation.
Step 4. Start prompting
Claude Code now has access to your ENTIRE TradingView environment
Your charts, your technical analysis, alerts - everything.
Use this prompt to turn Claude Code into your personal market analyst:
"Act as an elite quantitative trader and technical analyst with full access to my TradingView environment.
Analyze the current market structure for [ASSET] on the following timeframes: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D.
Use my existing indicators, drawings, and chart context to:
Identify the current trend and market regime (trending, ranging, accumulation, distribution)
Mark key support and resistance levels based on price action and liquidity
Identify liquidity pools, stop clusters, and likely areas of manipulation
Analyze momentum using RSI, MACD, and volume where available
Detect any chart patterns (breakouts, consolidations, deviations, etc.)
Evaluate confluence across timeframes
Then provide:
A clear directional bias (bullish, bearish, neutral)
The highest probability trade setup right now
Exact entry, stop loss, and take profit levels
Risk-to-reward ratio
Invalidation point (what would prove this analysis wrong)
Finally:
Explain your reasoning step-by-step in plain English.
Avoid generic statements. Be decisive.
If no high-quality setup exists, explicitly say “no trade” and explain why."
This is an EXTREMELY powerful setup - make sure to save this post so you don't forget it.
At the peak of the Gilded Age in 1910, the richest 0.00001% of the US population owned wealth equal to 4% of national income.
Now, the richest 0.00001% owns 12%.
US billionaire oligarchs today are even wealthier than the original robber barons.
