Generate AI trading alerts from CoinGecko and Alpha Vantage via Slack, email and SMS
Automates real-time market monitoring, technical analysis, AI-powered signal generation for cryptocurrencies (and stocks), filters high-confidence trades, and delivers actionable alerts via multiple channels.
Good to Know
Runs every 5–30 minutes (configurable trigger) to catch fresh market opportunities
Pulls real-time price data from multiple crypto/stock sources in parallel
Calculates popular technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, etc.)
Uses an AI model (likely Grok/xAI, OpenAI, or similar) to interpret indicators and generate buy/sell signals with confidence scores
Applies multi-layer filtering to reduce noise (thresholds, validation rules)
Stores signals in a database, logs execution history, and sends notifications
Supports email, Telegram, Discord, SMS (via Twilio), or trading execution webhooks
Saves significant time compared to manual chart watching
How It Works
Trigger
Schedule Trigger* or Manual Trigger* (every 5–30 minutes)
Optional: Market Hours / Kill-zone filter (e.g. avoid low-volume periods)
Can be webhook-based for on-demand runs
Fetch & Prepare Data
Fetches real-time / recent OHLCV data for a watchlist of cryptocurrencies (and possibly stocks)
Sources: CoinGecko, Binance, Alpha Vantage, CoinMarketCap, Bybit, Kraken, etc. (multiple in parallel)
Combines data from different APIs
Prepares structured dataset (candles, volume, current price)
Calculates technical indicators in parallel or via Code node / community nodes (e.g. RSI(14), MACD, EMA/SMA crossovers, Bollinger Bands, etc.)
Analysis & Signal Generation
Sends prepared market data + calculated indicators to an AI model
Prompt instructs the model to:
Analyze current market structure
Evaluate indicator confluence
Generate Buy / Sell / Hold signal
Assign confidence score (e.g. 0–100%)
Provide short reasoning
Optional: Rule-based pre-filter (e.g. only proceed if RSI < 30 or MACD crossover)
Validate, Alert & Store
Filters** signals: minimum confidence threshold, no-duplicate check, max signals per run, etc.
Validates** against additional rules (e.g. volume spike, no recent opposite signal)
Stores** signal in database (PostgreSQL, Supabase, Airtable, Google Sheets, etc.)
Includes: timestamp, symbol, signal type, confidence, price, indicators snapshot, AI reasoning
Logs** full execution trace
Sends alerts**:
Email notification
Telegram / Discord message (with formatting)
SMS (Twilio)
Webhook to trading bot / execution system
Optional: Push to tradingview alert or auto-execute (paper/live)
Data Sources
Market Data APIs** — CoinGecko, Binance, Alpha Vantage, CoinMarketCap, etc.
Technical Indicators** — Calculated via Code node, community nodes (e.g. phoenix indicators), or external libraries
AI Model** — Grok (xAI), OpenAI (GPT-4o), Claude, Gemini, or local LLM

How to Use
Import the workflow JSON into your n8n instance
Configure credentials:
API keys for market data providers (Alpha Vantage, CoinGecko Pro, Binance, etc.)
AI provider (Grok API key, OpenAI key, etc.)
Notification services (Telegram bot token, email SMTP, Twilio, etc.)
Database connection if used
Set your watchlist — edit the symbols in the fetch node(s)
Tune the schedule — change interval in the trigger node
Customize AI prompt — adjust in the AI node for more aggressive/conservative signals
Set filters — confidence threshold, max alerts per cycle, etc.
Test manually — use Execute Workflow button with sample data
Activate & monitor — check Executions tab for logs
Requirements
n8n (self-hosted or cloud)
API keys for at least one market data provider
AI API access (Grok, OpenAI, etc.)
Notification credentials (Telegram bot, email account, etc.)
Optional: Database for persistent signal history
Customizing This Workflow
Add more exchanges/sources for better data redundancy
Include on-chain metrics (whale alerts, funding rates) via additional APIs
Switch AI model or fine-tune prompt for your trading style
Add risk management rules (position sizing, stop-loss levels)
Integrate auto-trading via exchange API (Binance, Bybit, Alpaca, etc.)
Create dashboard output (Google Sheets + Looker Studio / Grafana)
Add backtesting mode using historical data
Implement blackout periods or news filter to avoid high-impact events
