## Overview
**HodlEye Crypto Price Tracker** is a Dockerized application that aims to surpass typical limitations of other tracking platforms (like TradingView), offering:
- **Unlimited Alarms**: No cap on the number of alarms you can set.
- **Unlimited Crypto Tracking**: Easily add as many coins as you want.
- **Real-Time Price Updates (every 1 seconds)**: Uses Binance and OKX data.
- **Crypto News & Economic Calendar**: Stay updated on the latest events affecting the market.
- **TradingView Modal Integration**: Click on any crypto pair to open a TradingView modal for in-depth chart analysis.**New**
The tool refreshes prices every **1 seconds**, which may introduce a slight delay in alarm triggers if the price quickly touches the threshold in between intervals.

## Features
### Unlimited Alarms & Tracking
- You can set **as many alarms as you like** — no daily or total limit.
- Track **any number of cryptocurrencies** in the list simultaneously.
### Price Updates
- **Binance** and **OKX** are integrated as the primary data sources.
- By default, HodlEye tries Binance first; if that fails or is forced off, it falls back to OKX.
- It automatically fetches the current price, 24h open, 1h open, and calculates the 24h and 1h percentage changes every **1 seconds**.
### Alarm Functionality
- Set alarms for each coin (e.g., `BTC/USDT`), choosing:
- **Alarm Price** (threshold)
- **Direction** (Rising, Falling, or Both)
- **Frequency** (Once or Recurring)
- When triggered, a popup and sound notification appear, with optional desktop notifications.
- **Once** alarms are marked locally in the browser (not removed from the server) so they do not trigger again unless reloaded or manually reset.
### Crypto News
- News from multiple RSS sources:
- `https://crypto.news/feed/`
- `https://cointelegraph.com/rss`
- `https://thedefiant.io/api/feed`
- `https://newsbtc.com/feed`
- `https://news.bitcoin.com/feed` _(may be inaccessible in certain regions)_
- `https://bitcoinmagazine.com/feed`
- `https://cryptopanic.com/news/rss/`
- `https://decrypt.co/feed`
- Quickly view and filter recent articles within the built-in News modal.
### Economic Calendar
- The **Economic Calendar** button opens a modal with an [Investing.com](https://www.investing.com/) iframe, showing major economic events such as central bank decisions and market-impacting announcements.
### TradingView Chart
- The **TradingView Chart** Crypto Box Currency click opens a modal with a Tradingview Chart Window iframe, get a better overview of the charts.

## Installation & Usage
### Requirements
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) installed.
- (Optional) [Docker-Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) if you want a more complex or multi-container setup.
### Docker Build & Run
1. **Clone this repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Gerald-Ha/HodlEye-Crypto-Price-Tracker.git
cd HodlEye
```
2. **Build the Docker image**
```bash
docker buildx build -t hodleye-crypto-tracker .
```
_(Make sure you’re in the same directory as the Dockerfile.)_
3. **Run the container**
```bash
docker run -p 3099:3099 -p 5001:5001 --env-file .env -v hodleye_data:/app/data --name hodleye-container hodleye-crypto-tracker
```
- Port `3099` serves the main web interface.
- Port `5001` is used by the Node.js server that fetches news RSS feeds.
4. **Access the application**
- **Main UI**: [http://localhost:3099](http://localhost:3099)
- **News Feed Endpoint**: [http://localhost:5001/api/news](http://localhost:5001/api/news)

## Windows Notification App: HodlEye_Notify
If you prefer not to keep the HodlEye Crypto Price Tracker web interface open in your browser all the time, you can use a lightweight Windows application called **HodlEye_Notify**. This tool connects directly to the same endpoint as the Docker container and will display notifications on your desktop whenever an alarm is triggered.
1. **Setup**
- Enter the IP address and port of your HodlEye Docker container (for example, `http://192.168.1.112:3099/`) in the HodlEye_Notify window.
- Click **Connect** to establish a WebSocket connection.
- Once connected, you’ll see the status change to “Connected.”
2. **Autostart**
- Add HodlEye_Notify to your Windows **Startup** folder so it automatically launches when Windows starts. This way, you’ll continuously receive notifications without needing to reopen the program manually.
3. **Testing Notifications**
- From the machine running the Docker container, you can trigger a test notification using the following `curl` command:
**Ubuntu**
```bash
curl -X POST http://192.168.1.112:3099/api/notifications \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"message\": \"⚠️ ALARM (Recurring, Both): BTC reached 92250\", \"timestamp\": \"2025-03-06T06:19:58.584Z\"}"
```
**Windows CMD**
```bash
curl -X POST http://192.168.1.112:3099/api/notifications -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"message\": \"⚠️ ALARM (Recurring, Both): BTC reached 92250\", \"timestamp\": \"2025-03-06T06:19:58.584Z\"}"
```
- If everything is configured correctly, you should receive a desktop notification from HodlEye_Notify indicating the alarm has triggered.
This application simplifies the process of staying informed about your alarms, letting you work on other tasks without leaving the HodlEye web interface open.

### Frontend (`index.html` & `magic.js`)
- **`index.html`**
- Main interface containing modals and buttons (Add Crypto, Edit List, Alarms, Options, etc.).
- Includes buttons for:
- **Crypto News** (opens a news modal)
- **Economic Calendar** (Investing.com iframe)
- **Unlimited Alarms** management
- **Options** (Dark mode, alarm sounds, desktop notifications)
- **Buy me a Coffee** donation button
- **`magic.js`**
- Core logic:
- Fetches cryptos (`/api/cryptos`)
- Loads alarms (`/api/alarms`) and notifications (`/api/notifications`)
- Pulls prices from Binance/OKX every 1 seconds
- Checks and triggers alarms
- Handles UI rendering (prices, alarms, notifications, drag & drop reorder)
### News Feed Server (Node.js)
- A minimal Node.js Express server (in `server.js` or similar) which:
- Retrieves the listed RSS feeds and parses them via `xml2js`
- Serves them in JSON format at `/api/news`
- Default port is `5001` (overridden by `process.env.PORT` if set).
- Example local usage (non-Docker):
```bash
cd feed-server
npm install
node server.js
```
- Accessible at [http://localhost:5001/api/news](http://localhost:5001/api/news).
_(Within Docker, it’s already bundled, so just expose `5001`.)_

## Important Notes / Limitations
1. **1-second polling**
- There’s a potential delay in alarms because price thresholds are only checked every 1 seconds. If a price briefly touches and moves away between polls, you might miss that exact trigger moment.
2. **API availability**
- Binance/OKX may be temporarily down or might not support certain symbols.
- HodlEye tries Binance → fallback to OKX if needed.
3. **Unlimited Alarms (Once vs. Recurring)**
- **Once** alarms become locally “triggered” to avoid repeated alerts but are not server-side deactivated.
- **Recurring** triggers repeatedly every time the threshold is crossed.
4. **RSS Feeds**
- Some feeds might be inaccessible in certain regions (`bitcoin_news` in Germany, for instance).
- Economic Calendar content is loaded from an `
