Crypto Price Alerts

What This Skill Does

The Crypto Price Alerts skill, developed by dagangtj, is a dedicated monitoring utility for OpenClaw that allows users to stay informed about volatile cryptocurrency markets without constant manual checking. By integrating directly into your workspace, the agent tracks live price action for various trading pairs and notifies you immediately when specific price thresholds are crossed. This tool is designed to automate the 'watch' aspect of your trading strategy, letting you focus on execution rather than monitoring charts. It stores your alert preferences locally for privacy and quick retrieval, ensuring your data remains under your control while the background process performs the heavy lifting.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, you must have the OpenClaw agent installed. Open your terminal and execute the following command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dagangtj/crypto-price-alerts

Once installed, the agent will initialize the necessary data structure in ~/.openclaw/workspace/data/price_alerts.json. Ensure your agent has appropriate write permissions for this directory to allow the system to save and delete alerts effectively.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for traders who need to react to sudden market movements but cannot stare at tickers all day. It is highly effective for swing traders setting entry or exit targets, long-term investors looking to 'buy the dip' at specific support levels, and individuals managing risk with automated stop-loss notifications. Whether you are tracking major assets like BTC and ETH or monitoring smaller altcoins for specific entry points, this skill provides the real-time context needed to make informed decisions.

Example Prompts

1. "Alert me when BTC hits $100k so I can consider taking profits."
2. "Notify me immediately if ETH drops below $3000 as I want to increase my position."
3. "Show my active alerts and remove the one for SOL since I no longer need it."

Tips & Limitations

• Pricing: Please note this skill requires a $3/month subscription through the AI Trading Tools platform.
• Automation: The check_alerts tool runs automatically in the background. If you feel notifications are delayed, ensure your OpenClaw agent is kept in an active background process.
• Precision: While the agent is highly reliable, always cross-reference alerts with your primary exchange to account for price feed latency across different data providers.
