A bot for Discord that provides utilities for cryptocurrency traders. Run it in your Discord server and users can call various commands that fetch current information from crypto-exchanges like Binance, or he can be toggled to send alerts during unusual price action. CryptoBuddy is built in Node.js and uses R to make technical analysis calls.
First, make sure you have installed the latest versions of Node.js. Clone or download this repository. You will then need to install the following dependencies through NPM. Run:
npm install node-binance-api node-schedule r-script-with-bug-fixes
npm install discord.io
Replace the token in the auth.json with the your own token generated from the app section of your Discord account, as well as replacing the channel ID parameter in the config.json with the ID of the channel that you want the bot to fire alerts. Add the bot to your server.
When you're ready, navigate to this repo and run:
node bot.js
Your bot should be ready to go.
