This tutorials shares my experience of creating a simple Python script that warns me if crypto price data (e.g., BTC or ETH) crosses a certain threshold. <\/p>\n

Why would I need this?<\/strong> Well, the script can be useful for trading signals if I want to react quickly. While I don’t really trade, this script may be useful to time some buy or sell orders in a volatile market environment.<\/p>\n

Besides — it’s fun and easy and quick, 5 minutes tops, so let’s just do it!<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udcac\" Challenge<\/strong>: I want to create a small Python script — that also works for Jupyter notebooks — to play a tone or warning signal as soon as Bitcoin or ETH price cross a certain threshold!<\/p>\n

My Python Script if Crypto Prices Drop<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

This short clip shows you the tone it generates when BTC falls under a certain price — wait for the beep:<\/p>\n

You can run the Bitcoin price warning script<\/strong> in your background in a separate browser tab in a Colab Jupyter Notebook (code below).<\/p>\n

Okay, let’s build the code in three easy steps.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Get Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Crypto Prices in Python<\/h2>\n

First, install the Historic Crypto<\/a> library to access live cryptocurrency data. <\/p>\n

Jupyter Notebook:<\/strong> \"\ud83d\udc47\"\n!pip install Historic-Crypto<\/code> Shell or Terminal:<\/strong> \"\ud83d\udc47\"\npip install Historic-Crypto<\/code><\/pre>\n
Second, create a new object of the LiveCryptoData<\/code> class, passing in the currency pair<\/p>\n
