Use Case
Discord Trading Bot
Slash commands for instant indicator lookups, rich embeds with market summaries, and automated channel alerts — all powered by real-time API data.
The Challenge
Trading communities on Discord want instant market data without leaving the app. Members ask "what is the RSI on gold?" dozens of times a day. You want to build a bot with slash commands like /rsi, /price, and /summary — but you need a reliable data source that responds fast enough for interactive use, returns structured data you can format into Discord embeds, and does not require you to maintain your own indicator calculation engine.
How TickAtlas Solves It
Slash Command Data
User types /rsi XAUUSD H1 and your bot gets the answer from /v1/indicator in under 100ms. Format into a rich embed.
Rich Embed Formatting
JSON responses map naturally to Discord embed fields: indicator name, value, timeframe, signal — all structured for display.
Channel Alerts
Background task polls /v1/screener. When conditions are met (RSI > 70, MACD crossover), post an alert embed to #signals.
Daily Market Brief
Schedule a daily /v1/summary post to #market-analysis with AI-generated bias, confidence, and key levels.
