Recipe Price Level Alerts

Price Level Alerts

PREREQUISITE: Load the following skill to execute this recipe: kraken-alert-patterns

Define upper and lower price levels for a pair and get notified when they are crossed.

Steps

1. Get current price for reference: kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
2. Define alert levels:
   • Upper: e.g., 70000 (breakout)
   • Lower: e.g., 55000 (breakdown)
3. Start streaming: kraken ws ticker BTC/USD --event-trigger bbo -o json 2>/dev/null
4. Parse each line: extract last price
5. Compare against upper level: if price >= upper, alert "BTCUSD broke above 70000"
6. Compare against lower level: if price <= lower, alert "BTCUSD broke below 55000"
7. After alert fires, optionally stop monitoring or set new levels
8. Agent delivers alert through its notification channel (chat, Slack, etc.)
