Descriptions:
David from Trading with DaviddTech demonstrates Trader Dev, a custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) server he built that connects Claude AI to a TradingView-compatible Pine Script back-testing engine — no TradingView subscription required. The tool allows users to describe a strategy in plain language through Claude Code, which then generates the Pine Script and runs the back-test automatically, returning a full performance report within seconds.
Within 24 hours of releasing Trader Dev to his community of 9,000 traders, members collectively built and back-tested nearly 10,000 strategies. The video highlights three standout results: an Ethereum USDT mean-reversion strategy on the 60-minute timeframe returning 3,345% P&L with a 22% max drawdown and 1.68 profit factor (238 trades); an AVAX USDT strategy up 2,140% with a 1.42 profit factor across 485 trades; and a SOL USDT 1-hour strategy showing 764% gains with 292 trades. David also walks through using Claude to iteratively improve a lower-performing strategy by forking and modifying its logic.
The installation process is shown in full: download the Claude desktop app, create a Trader Dev account, copy a single configuration line, and paste it into Claude Code. David explicitly notes that back-tested performance does not guarantee live results and recommends extended forward-testing before deploying any strategy — a standard caveat in systematic trading that applies equally here. The workbook of starter prompts is available free to anyone who comments on the video.
