Title: Alert function to wake up your pc?
Post by: delulo on January 04, 2014, 06:09:52 PM
Does anyone know a price alert software that wakes up your machine?
If that is nor possible maybe a website or software that puts out a tone loud enough to wake up?
My phone did that job for a while but it woun't work now for a week or so...
Thanks!

You do not need a software to do this.  You can use the function Scheduled Tasks if you are using Windows.

Do you need an alarm to wake you up at a certain BTC price?
If you have an Android you can try an app called Bitcoin Paranoid, it has a function "Annoying mode" which doesn't let you sleep until you stop the fucking alarm!

I tried this app for a while, but really pretty annoying when your hear in the middle of the night stock-exchange bells ringing... But still useful if you don't want to miss out on bitcoin price updates.

How do I do this exactly?

Do you understand market data Excel add-ins and PowerShell?

Just to give you a small rundown.  If you had the market data imported to Excel you would have a PowerShell script that analyze the tables with your important values.  If the fluctuation is steady the PowerShell script places the machine in hibernate mode.  With the scheduled tasks you can than have the machine run up at designated times triggering the script that monitors the values.  Once one of the values causes an alarm trigger, such as a price fluctuating 10%, you can than have the script trigger an alarm that you have deemed fit.

Ok. Does that work with a ready made software or some windows function (mentioned above) too?

Interesting idea.  I mostly see such functionality being created in-house.  Never have seen the need to wake the PC out of hibernation.  I bet someone that does automated trading has created such a routine to monitor the algorithmen trading.  Anything is possible if you know PowerShell.
