Agent Skill

Tradingview Reader skill

tradingview-readerhimself65/finance-skillsplugins/data-providers/skills/tradingview-reader/SKILL.md

Read the user's local TradingView desktop app through opencli: quotes, options chains with greeks and per-strike IV, options expiries, screener results across stocks, crypto, forex, futures, and bonds, gainers and losers, news headlines and full stories, alerts (active, fired, offline fires), watchlists including colored flag lists, symbol search, chart state, and chart screenshots. Use this skill whenever the user asks for any of these from TradingView ("TV") — for example an options chain, puts, or IV skew for a ticker, an oversold-stock screen, their red flag list, which alerts fired, or a screenshot of their chart. For plain quotes, TA readouts, scans, or futures without the desktop app, prefer tradingview-mcp. Read-only: it never places trades or edits watchlists, alerts, or layouts.

All skills in this repo
  1. company-valuationhimself65/finance-skills

    Estimate a public company's intrinsic value with DCF, relative (peer multiple), and sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) methods, then blend them into an implied share price with upside/downside vs the market price, a WACC and terminal-growth sensitivity grid, and bull/base/bear scenarios. Use this skill whenever the user asks what a company or ticker is worth: fair value, intrinsic value, implied share price, a price target from fundamentals, whether it is overvalued or undervalued, building a DCF (WACC, terminal value, discounted cash flow), EV/EBITDA or P/E based targets, peer comparison valuation, or SOTP and conglomerate discounts. Run the model rather than answering valuation questions from memory.

  3. earnings-previewhimself65/finance-skills

    Build a pre-earnings briefing for a stock from Yahoo Finance data (yfinance): the upcoming report date and timing, consensus EPS and revenue estimates with their range, the beat/miss track record, analyst ratings and price targets, and what to watch in the print. Use this skill whenever the user is preparing for an upcoming earnings report or asks what the street expects — consensus or whisper numbers, EPS expectations, whether a company will beat, an earnings setup, or an earnings-season preview — and whenever a ticker comes up in the context of upcoming earnings, even without the word "preview". For results that are already out, use earnings-recap.

  4. earnings-recaphimself65/finance-skills

    Analyze a company's most recent (or a specified past) earnings report from Yahoo Finance data (yfinance): actual vs estimated EPS, surprise size, revenue and margin trends, and the stock's price reaction. Use this skill whenever the user asks how earnings went — beat or miss, earnings surprise, quarterly results, the post-earnings move, or an earnings call recap — including casual references to a past report such as "AMZN reported last night" or "how did they do". For an upcoming report, use earnings-preview.

  5. estimate-analysishimself65/finance-skills

    Analyze sell-side analyst estimates and how they are changing, using Yahoo Finance data (yfinance): EPS and revenue consensus by period, estimate ranges and dispersion, revision trends over 7/30/60/90 days and up/down revision breadth, growth estimates vs industry, sector, and the S&P 500, and historical estimate accuracy. Use this skill when the user wants more than a single estimate lookup: estimate revisions or momentum, EPS trend, consensus changes, forward or next-quarter and annual estimates, the bull vs bear estimate spread, or growth projections across periods.

  6. etf-premiumhimself65/finance-skills

    Calculate an ETF's premium or discount to NAV from Yahoo Finance data (yfinance), compare or screen ETFs by premium, explain why a gap exists, and decompose a sudden ETF move into NAV-driven vs structural components (dealer gamma exposure, blocked AP arbitrage, sentiment). Use this skill whenever the user asks whether an ETF trades above or below NAV, compares ETF premiums or discounts, screens for the biggest ones, asks about ETF arbitrage or premium convergence, or wants to know why an ETF jumped or diverged from its holdings — including gamma squeezes, dealer gamma exposure (GEX), and blocked creation/redemption. Especially relevant for leveraged, inverse, international, bond, commodity, and crypto ETFs (IBIT, BITO, HYG, KWEB).
