TradingView integration

Install and configure the cross-platform gexbot desktop launcher to stream GEX, Gamma, Vanna, and Charm exposure profiles directly onto TradingView Desktop charts.

The gexbot TradingView Integration is an experimental cross-platform companion application (Node.js 22+) that connects to TradingView Desktop via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to inject real-time GEX and Greek overlays directly onto desktop charts.

No Native TradingView Feed Ingestion

TradingView does not natively support external options datafeeds or custom external indicator binaries. This tool functions as an external companion bridge using browser automation (CDP).
