In simple English
This tool watches cryptocurrency prices for you all day and night. It calculates common market indicators like moving averages and momentum scores. When a coin hits your rules, it sends an alert to your phone or chat app. You set it up on your computer using a configuration file and a runner. It is free to use under an open-source licence, but you risk losing money if you trade real funds.
What it is
CryptoSignal is a Python-based algorithmic trading assistant that connects to major exchanges to run technical indicators. It reads market data, evaluates momentum and trend formulas, and pushes notifications through services like Telegram or Twilio.
What it is good for
Solo builders and traders who want to automate market scanning across multiple exchanges without building an alerting system from scratch.
