The problem it solves

You can't watch every stock in your portfolio for trend changes all day, so by the time you notice a moving average crossover it's often days late. Missing these signals means missing entry and exit points that matter to your strategy.

Who it fits

Individual traders or small investment groups who track technical signals across a watchlist of stocks.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically every weekday after market close
  2. Pulls the latest daily price data for each stock on your watchlist
  3. Calculates short-term and long-term moving averages and compares them to the prior day
  4. Detects when a Golden Cross or Death Cross has just occurred
  5. Posts an alert to Discord with the signal and the stock ticker
What you get

Trend signals spotted the moment they happen

You get a Discord alert the moment a stock on your watchlist crosses into a bullish or bearish trend signal.

What you get

A Discord alert flagging any stock that just crossed into a bullish or bearish trend.

What you need

A free or paid Alpha Vantage API key, a PostgreSQL database, and a Discord server with a webhook.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
