TradingView Ticker Extractor

Convert a market scanner / screener screenshot into a list of TradingView-compatible tickers using an LLM.
Output is a clean, de-duplicated watchlist you can paste or import into TradingView.

• Prompt lives in: PROMPT.md (copy/paste into your LLM).
• This README explains the workflow.

Why

Many scanners (Coinalyze, GeckoTerminal, CMC, etc.) don’t offer clean exports.
Manually rebuilding watchlists is slow and error-prone. This project standardizes the transformation so you can go from screenshot → ready-to-use TradingView symbols in seconds.

Files

• PROMPT.md – The exact LLM prompt that enforces correct output (EXCHANGE:BASEQUOTE, Binance/USDT preference, de-dup, sorting, etc.).
• README.md – You’re reading it. Workflow + import instructions.

Quick Start

1. Take a screenshot of your market scanner / screener results.
2. Open your LLM and paste the contents of PROMPT.md.
3. Upload the screenshot to the same chat.
4. Copy the LLM’s response (a plain list, one ticker per line, e.g. BINANCE:BTCUSDT).
5. Import into TradingView (instructions below).

Example screenshot

Example Output

BINANCE:AVAXUSDT
BINANCE:BTCUSDT
BINANCE:ETHUSDT
BINANCE:SUIUSDT

The prompt prefers BINANCE and USDT, falling back to USDC or USD when needed.
If a valid Binance pair doesn’t exist, it keeps the exchange/quote shown in the screenshot.

Importing into TradingView (Step-by-Step)

There are two reliable paths. Use Path A if available on your plan; otherwise use Path B.

Path A — Import a full watchlist (Web)

1. Open tradingview.com and log in.
2. On the right sidebar, open Watchlists & Details.
3. Click the ⋮ (More options) menu at the top of the watchlist.
4. Choose Import watchlist.
5. In the dialog, paste the LLM output (one symbol per line, no bullets/code fences).
6. Click Import.
7. (Optional) Rename the watchlist via the watchlist title → Rename (e.g., “Scanner 2025-09-27”).

Notes

• TradingView expects EXCHANGE:PAIR (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDT).
• If any lines fail to resolve (e.g., delisted or unsupported pairs), TradingView will skip them—review and adjust those lines if needed.

Path B — Add tickers manually (Any plan)

1. Copy the list from the LLM output.
2. In Watchlists & Details, click + Add symbol (or press /).
3. Paste one ticker (e.g., BINANCE:OPUSDT) into the search bar and press Enter.
4. Repeat for the remaining tickers.

Tips for speed

• Keep the list in your clipboard and move quickly with keyboard: / to focus search → paste → Enter → / → paste → Enter…

Common Issues

• Ticker not found → The pair may not exist on TradingView (delisted or not supported).
  → Check manually in TradingView’s symbol search.
• Perpetual vs. Spot → Some pairs (e.g., BTCUSDT.P vs. BTCUSDT) differ by contract type. Use the correct one depending on your trading.
• Duplicates → The LLM prompt removes duplicates automatically, but if you merge multiple lists, check again before import.

Power-User Tips

• Preserve ranking: If your scanner is sorted by Volume/Change, tell the LLM (the prompt supports preserving order).
• Futures vs. Spot: TradingView symbols differ for perps/futures on some venues. If your screenshot explicitly shows perps, keep that venue/contract naming.
• De-duplication: The prompt removes duplicates; if you merge lists later, de-dup again before import.
• Sanity check: If a symbol doesn’t resolve in TradingView, search the asset manually—venues and quotes vary across platforms.

FAQ

Q: Can I import CSV?
A: For watchlists, the most reliable method is paste-in via “Import watchlist”. CSV isn’t required.

Q: Does mobile support import?
A: Use the web app to import, then your lists sync to mobile if you use the same account.

Q: My plan doesn’t show “Import watchlist”.
A: Use Path B (manual add). It’s fast with keyboard shortcuts.
