ESP32 Plugs In To Real-Time Crypto Prices

In today’s high-speed information overload environment, we often find ourselves with too much data to take in at once, causing us to occasionally miss out on opportunities otherwise drowned out in noise. None of this is more evident in the realm of high-speed trading, whether it’s for stocks, commodities, or even crypto. Most of us won’t be able to build dedicated high speed connections directly to stock exchanges for that extra bit of edge over the other traders, but what we can do is build a system that keys us in to our cryptocurrency price of choice so we know exactly when to pull the trigger on a purchase or sale.

[rishab]’s project for doing this is based on an ESP32 paired with a 10″ touchscreen display. It gathers live data from Binance, a large cryptocurrency exchange that maintains various pieces of information about many digital currencies. [rishab]’s tool offers a quick, in-depth look at a custom array of coins, with data such as percentage change over a certain time and high and low values for that coin as well. The chart updates in real time, and [rishab] also built a feature in which scales coins up if they have been seeing large movements in price over short timeframes.

Although it’s not a direct fiber link into an exchange, it certainly has its advantages over keeping this information in a browser window on a computer where it could get missed, and since it’s dedicated hardware running custom firmware it can show you exactly what you need to see if you’re day trading crypto. Certainly projects like this are in the DIY spirit that crypto enthusiasts tout as ideals of the currency, and as people move away from mining and more into speculative trading we’d expect to see more projects like this.

    1. Why? It’s a great hacky project.
      Stop listening to legacy media who only amplify the criminal activity and scammers like Trump. Crypto runs an entire world wide currency on a fraction of the power needs that the Fiat money system uses. I know they love to say how much energy mining uses but they only compare against power needed to do bank transfers. When you factor in ALL the power the banking system uses, make BTC look like the eco option.

  1. In case you didn’t know, pretty much all (not only stock and commodity) exchanges are full of automated bots making quick buck here and there at the rate of few thousands per second.

    When you open an account with, say ETrade, flags go up “new sucker” and depending on your investment there could be hundreds bots waiting for your transactions. When you buy or sell, the mere fact of such sends these looking for the tiniest changes in the stock prices and buy-sell at fiendish rate. Basically, ANY event that potentially may affect the stock price triggers a mayhem of automated bots buying-selling. Most of these bots were written by geniuses with math major PhD, some are even paid good salaries, but that’s unimportant. I believe in the 1980s it was called “speed-trading”, but the idea is the same.

    Good luck out-speeding the trading bots written and tuned by math geniuses. (yes, I have “friends and relatives” in “those places” – programmers who programmed these, no less).

    1. That is where Bloomberg’s billions come from. Not the trading, but providing the data and means. The wealthiest man in New York state and someone who spends hundreds of millions every election cycle to influence choices nation wide and in each state. It is all about the microseconds.

  2. For the country’s effort to delete the concept of DEI from existence, I really hate these ai-slop videos that use a faux-speech-impediment lisp/cerval-tongue to attemptt o make it sound genuine. No one likes ai voices and people should be banned for using them. No, ai translation services are not valid when human-powered translation is the core basis of communication. No, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to use legitimate disability tools to span the gap between a non-disabled person and their objectives. This is ai slop and the equivalent of those OnlyFans models using the down-syndrome filter to get money. It’s not a hot take, its the only take and if you think killing the planet to make deficient voiceovers is appropriate, you deserve every negative thing coming to you.

  3. For those using Tradingview and Pine :

    adxlen = input(7, title=”ADX Smoothing”)
    dilen = input(7, title=”DI Length”)
    dirmov(len) =>
    up = ta.change(high)
    down = -ta.change(low)
    plusDM = na(up) ? na : (up > down and up > 0 ? up : 0)
    minusDM = na(down) ? na : (down > up and down > 0 ? down : 0)
    truerange = ta.rma(ta.tr, len)
    plus = fixnan(100 * ta.rma(plusDM, len) / truerange)
    minus = fixnan(100 * ta.rma(minusDM, len) / truerange)
    [plus, minus]
    adx(dilen, adxlen) =>
    [plus, minus] = dirmov(dilen)
    sum = plus + minus
    adx = 100 * ta.rma(math.abs(plus – minus) / (sum == 0 ? 1 : sum), adxlen)
    sig = adx(dilen, adxlen)

    // Parámetros
    periodoWilliams = input.int(40, title=”Período Williams %R”)

    // Cálculo de indicadores
    wpr = ta.wpr(periodoWilliams)
    .
    .
    .
    .

    else if (wpr > -50 and wpr < -27) and (sig>=sig[1] and wpr>wpr[1])
    estado := “Entrada de fuerza media,SENAL DE NUEVO RALLY”.

    Thanks me later :)
