TradingView Combined Workflow

This folder contains a combined, self-contained workflow that runs both TradingView automation (screenshots + data download) and n8n upload operations sequentially.

Overview

The combined workflow:

1. TradingView Automation: Captures screenshots and downloads CSV data from TradingView charts
2. n8n Upload: Uploads the generated files to your n8n webhook

All operations are independent and do not affect the original workflows in:

• C:\Cursor Projects\Data Tradingview
• C:\Cursor Projects\Auto Browser

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher) - Download
• Python 3 (v3.7 or higher) - Download
• TradingView Account - The script uses a persistent browser profile for authentication

Setup (First Time Only)

1. Run setup_combined.bat to install all dependencies:

   • Node.js packages (Playwright)
   • Playwright browsers
   • Python packages (requests)

   This may take several minutes, especially when installing Playwright browsers.

Usage

Running the Combined Workflow

Simply double-click run_combined_workflow.bat or run it from the command line:

run_combined_workflow.bat

Running with Custom Chart URL

You can pass a custom TradingView chart URL as an argument:

run_combined_workflow.bat "https://www.tradingview.com/chart/..."

What It Does

1. Step 1 - TradingView Automation:

   • Opens TradingView in a browser
   • Selects the configured layout
   • For each timeframe (3M, 1Y, 5Y):
     • Captures a screenshot
     • Downloads CSV data
   • Saves files to downloads\ folder

2. Step 2 - n8n Upload:

   • Scans the downloads\ folder
   • Matches screenshots with CSV files by symbol and period
   • If csv_last_upload_folder is set: compares each CSV to the last-upload baseline and sends only new rows (delta) to the webhook; unchanged files can be skipped or sent as header-only (see when_no_new_rows)
   • Uploads matched pairs to the n8n webhook (same filenames; recipient sees less data when delta is used)
   • After upload: latest CSV becomes the new baseline in the last-upload folder; the previous baseline is moved to the full archive; screenshots go to screenshot archive

Configuration

n8n Configuration

Edit n8n_config_v2.json to configure:

• webhook_url: Your n8n webhook URL
• image_folder: Where screenshots are stored (default: downloads\screenshots)
• csv_folder: Where CSV files are stored (default: downloads)
• csv_last_upload_folder: Folder for the "last upload" baseline per symbol/period (e.g. downloads\LastUpload). If set, only new CSV rows (delta) are sent; the latest file is stored here after upload and the previous baseline is moved to csv_archive_folder. Leave empty to send full files every time.
• archive_folder: Where screenshots are archived after upload
• csv_archive_folder: Where CSV files are archived (previous baseline is moved here when using delta)
• when_no_new_rows: When a CSV has no new rows compared to the baseline: "skip" = do not upload that set (1 or 2 of the 3 data files may be omitted); "upload_zeros" = still send all 3 data files (header-only for unchanged sets). Default: "upload_zeros".
• require_complete_sets: Require both image and CSV before uploading (default: true)
• skip_periods: Periods to skip (default: ["1M"])

TradingView Automation

The Node.js script can be configured via environment variables:

• TV_PROFILE_DIR: Browser profile directory (default: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\TradingView_Bot)
• TV_OUTPUT_DIR: Output directory for downloads (default: ./downloads)
• TV_SCREENSHOT_DIR: Screenshot directory (default: ./downloads/screenshots)
• TV_LAYOUT_NAME: TradingView layout name (default: "KWEB Regular")
• HEADLESS: Run browser in headless mode (default: "0" = visible)
• TV_SCREENSHOTS: Enable screenshots (default: "1")
• TV_DOWNLOAD: Enable CSV downloads (default: "1")

Example:

set TV_LAYOUT_NAME=My Custom Layout
set HEADLESS=1
run_combined_workflow.bat

Troubleshooting

"Node.js dependencies not found"

• Run setup_combined.bat to install dependencies

"Python dependencies not found"

• Run setup_combined.bat to install dependencies
• Ensure Python is in your PATH

"Could not find layout"

• Check that the layout name in TV_LAYOUT_NAME matches your TradingView layout exactly
• Use setup mode: set TV_SETUP=1 then run the workflow to manually configure

"No files to upload"

• Ensure the TradingView automation completed successfully
• Check that both screenshots and CSV files were generated
• Verify folder paths in n8n_config_v2.json

Browser Profile Issues

• The script uses a persistent browser profile for authentication
• First run may require manual login to TradingView
• Profile location: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\TradingView_Bot

Notes

• The workflow is sequential: automation must complete before upload starts
• Files are archived (moved) after successful upload, not deleted
• When csv_last_upload_folder is set: the webhook receives the same filenames as before; only the CSV content is smaller (new rows only, or header-only for unchanged sets if when_no_new_rows is "upload_zeros")
• Original workflow folders remain completely untouched
• All output files are stored in the Combined folder's downloads\ directory
