TradingView Chart Analyzer

Analyzes TradingView chart images using OpenAI vision models to provide technical analysis and market insights.

Description

This Apify actor provides an intelligent solution for automated technical analysis of financial charts from TradingView. The actor leverages OpenAI's advanced vision capabilities to interpret chart patterns, identify technical indicators, and generate beginner-friendly market insights. By accepting chart images in multiple formats, the actor offers flexibility for integration with various data sources and trading platforms.

The actor supports two input methods for maximum versatility: base64-encoded images and direct image URLs. This dual approach enables seamless integration with screenshot capture tools, API endpoints, or file upload systems. When provided with a URL, the actor automatically fetches and processes the image, converting it to the appropriate format for OpenAI's vision models. The default model used is GPT-4o-mini, which provides cost-effective analysis while maintaining high accuracy in pattern recognition and technical interpretation.

A key feature of the actor is its customizable prompt system, allowing users to tailor the analysis style, depth, and focus areas to their specific needs. The default prompt is designed to provide clear, beginner-friendly explanations that break down complex technical concepts into accessible language. This makes the actor suitable for both novice traders seeking educational insights and experienced analysts who need quick preliminary assessments. The actor automatically includes appropriate disclaimers about the non-binding nature of the analysis, emphasizing that results are for educational purposes only.

The actor is designed with reliability and user safety in mind, implementing proper error handling and validation to ensure robust operation. The output is structured JSON data containing the analysis text, model used, and timestamp, making it easy to integrate with trading dashboards, notification systems, or analysis pipelines. This makes the actor ideal for traders automating their chart review process, educational platforms teaching technical analysis, or developers building trading tools that require AI-powered chart interpretation capabilities.
