Modern neural networks are no longer just "chatbots." With the right approach and proper tools, they can analyze charts, write indicators, backtest strategies, and even review your trades. However, no prompt, no matter how brilliant, will print money for you. A neural network is a powerful tool for eliminating routine tasks, but key decisions always remain yours.

As an analyst with many years of experience, I have selected the 10 most effective prompts for Claude that fundamentally change the approach to trading. Three of them (prompts 1, 6, and 7) require connecting the TradingView MCP connector to read "live" charts. The remaining seven work directly in a regular chat.

1. "Objective Analyst": Reading the Chart Without Forecasts

This prompt forces the neural network to act as a cold-blooded technical analyst. It looks at your chart via TradingView MCP and describes exclusively what it sees: market structure, key levels, indicator readings. No forecasts or advice—only a statement of facts. The prompt requires specifying the ticker and timeframe, and the response is strictly structured: trend, support/resistance levels, indicator interpretation, and one "hidden" detail that most traders miss.

2. "Pine Script Developer": Creating an Indicator for Your Task

You no longer need to be a programmer. You simply describe the signal condition in words (e.g., a crossover of EMA 9 and EMA 21 with volume confirmation), and Claude writes ready-made Pine Script v6 code for TradingView. The prompt includes a requirement not only for the code but also for an honest warning: the neural network itself will point out a specific market example where this indicator will give a false signal and explain why.

3. "Idea Formalizer": From a Vague Concept to Strict Rules

Every trader operates with concepts like "buy on a pullback." The problem is that everyone understands "pullback" differently. This prompt forces the neural network to turn your fuzzy idea into a precise, measurable set of rules: exact entry condition, exit, stop-loss, and position size. The rules must be so clear that two different people, following them, would trade identically.

4. "Strategy Tester": Backtesting in Seconds

Before risking real money, a strategy needs to be tested on historical data. This prompt takes your rules from the previous step, adds a realistic 0.1% commission, and turns them into a full-fledged trading strategy in Pine Script. You simply paste the code into TradingView and see all historical trades, drawdown, and final profit. The neural network will also explain how to distinguish a truly good result from "curve fitting."

5. "Loss Auditor": Finding Your Most Expensive Mistake

The most valuable prompt in the collection. You give the neural network a table of your trades (date, direction, prices, result), and it conducts a deep audit. Its task is to find a common pattern in all losing trades. Perhaps you systematically lose at the same time of day or on a specific type of entry. Claude will suggest one specific filter to cut out these trades and honestly assess whether it is "curve fitting" to your history.

6. "Market Scanner": Finding Coins by Your Template

Instead of manually scanning dozens of charts, you give the neural network a list of tickers and verbally describe the desired situation (e.g., "price returned above the 200 EMA and the volume of the last candle is above average"). Via TradingView MCP, it runs through the entire list and selects only those coins that currently match your criteria. Borderline cases are discarded, and the remaining ones are sorted from the most obvious to the less obvious.

7. "Alert System": A Precise Alert, Not a "Signal Triggered"

The neural network sets up an alert on your chart that will trigger at the right moment. The main feature is the notification text. It must be so specific and informative that, upon receiving it on your phone, you immediately understand: which coin, at what level, and what to do, even without opening the chart. No vague phrases—only a clear instruction for action.

8. "Multi-Timeframe Verifier": Top-Down Trade Verification

The same trade can look attractive on a lower timeframe but go against the global trend. This prompt forces the neural network to check the consistency of your entry from the weekly chart down to the 4-hour and your working timeframe. In the end, you get a clear verdict in one word: "ENTER," "WAIT," or "SKIP," as well as a specific price level at which, if broken, the entire idea is invalidated.

9. "Strict Coach": Reviewing Your Trading Journal

The neural network acts as an impartial, strict coach. You upload your last 30 trades, and it finds: your most profitable technique, your most harmful habit, and a technique you think works but actually doesn't generate money. Moreover, it will indicate the time or market situation when you statistically should not trade at all. The result is one clear rule to add to your trading plan.

10. "Risk Manager": The Mathematics of Discipline

The final prompt is about iron discipline. You specify the account size, acceptable risk per trade (e.g., 1%), entry, stop, and take profit prices. The neural network calculates the exact position size so that if the stop is triggered, you lose exactly the specified amount, as well as the profit-to-risk ratio (R:R). If the R:R is below 1.5, the prompt directly orders you to skip the trade, demonstrating the mathematical impracticality of the entry.

My Expert Opinion: These prompts are not a magic pill but a powerful tool for automating analytical routine. They save hours of work but do not eliminate the need for market experience and discipline. Always double-check the neural network's calculations, especially in conditions of high volatility. Remember: even the smartest algorithm is just your assistant, not a replacement for trading judgment.
