Send an alert when a crypto price crosses your threshold

Checks a cryptocurrency's price on an hourly schedule and emails you the moment it hits your buy or sell threshold.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Exactly one path is taken; repeats returns to check price next hour.

The problem it solves

You have a price level in mind for buying or selling, but you can't watch the chart all day. Manually checking prices every hour means you either miss the moment or waste time refreshing a screen.

Who it fits

A crypto trader or investor working with specific entry or exit price targets.

How it works

  1. Checks the coin's price on an hourly schedule
  2. Compares the price against your buy or sell threshold
  3. Sends an email the moment the threshold is crossed
  4. Continues monitoring for the next threshold breach
What you get

Price moves caught the moment they happen

You get an instant email the moment a cryptocurrency crosses the buy or sell price you set.

What you get

An email alert with the current price when your threshold is crossed.

What you need

An email account and access to live cryptocurrency price data.

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.
