How do I start tracking a cryptocurrency?

Use `!crypto track [SYMBOL]` or `!crypto track [SYMBOL] [THRESHOLD]`. For example, `!crypto track BTC` will track Bitcoin with a default 5% alert threshold, or `!crypto track ETH 3` will track Ethereum with a 3% alert threshold.

What cryptocurrencies can I track?

You can track any cryptocurrency available on CoinGecko by using its symbol (like BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.). If you're unsure about a symbol, try the command and the bot will let you know if it can't find that cryptocurrency.

How often are prices updated?

Prices are updated every 15 seconds for cryptocurrencies you're actively watching, and every 2 minutes for all tracked cryptocurrencies. This ensures you get timely notifications without overwhelming the system.

What does the threshold percentage mean?

The threshold is how much the price needs to change (up or down) from your baseline before you get an alert. For example, with a 5% threshold on Bitcoin at $50,000, you'll be notified when it reaches $52,500 or drops to $47,500.

Why did I get an alert even though the price didn't change that much from when I started tracking?

Alerts are based on the price change since your last notification, not the original tracking price. After each alert, the baseline price automatically resets to the current price, so future alerts will be based on that new baseline. This prevents you from getting repeated notifications about the same price movement.

Can I change my alert threshold after I've started tracking?

Yes! Just use the track command again with the new threshold: `!crypto track BTC 10` will update your Bitcoin alerts to a 10% threshold.

How do I stop getting alerts for a cryptocurrency?

Use `!crypto untrack [SYMBOL]`. For example, `!crypto untrack BTC` will stop tracking Bitcoin and you won't receive any more price alerts for it.

How do I see all the cryptocurrencies I'm tracking?

Use `!crypto list` to see your complete tracking list with current prices, changes since your baseline, 24-hour changes, alert thresholds, and when each was last updated.

How do I check the current price without tracking a cryptocurrency?

Use `!crypto price [SYMBOL]`. For example, `!crypto price ETH` shows Ethereum's current price, 24-hour change, market cap, volume, and more - without adding it to your tracking list.

Can I see how much a cryptocurrency has changed over a specific time period?

Yes! Use `!crypto change [SYMBOL] [PERIOD]`. For example, `!crypto change SOL 7d` shows Solana's price change over the last 7 days. Valid periods are: 1h, 24h, 7d, 30d, and 90d.

The prices seem delayed. How can I get the latest data?

Use `!crypto refresh` to force an immediate update of all your tracked cryptocurrencies. This is useful if you want the absolute latest prices right now.

Why can't I find my cryptocurrency using its full name?

You need to use the cryptocurrency's symbol (ticker), not its full name. For example, use "BTC" not "Bitcoin", or "ETH" not "Ethereum". If you're unsure of the symbol, search for "[coin name] ticker symbol" online.

What does "baseline price" mean in the list?

The baseline price is the reference point for calculating your price change alerts. It's set when you first start tracking, and resets to the current price each time you receive an alert.

Why am I not getting notifications even though the price changed a lot?

Make sure you've set an alert threshold that matches the price movements you want to catch. If Bitcoin moves 3% but your threshold is 5%, you won't get an alert. Also, remember that after each alert, the baseline resets - so the price needs to move another X% from that new baseline to trigger the next alert.

How many cryptocurrencies can I track at once?

There's no hard limit on how many cryptocurrencies you can track, but tracking too many might slow down updates. For best performance, focus on the cryptocurrencies you're most interested in.

Why do I sometimes see "N/A" for 24-hour change?

This can happen when price data is temporarily unavailable from the source, or for very new cryptocurrencies that don't have 24 hours of historical data yet.

Will my tracking list be saved if the bot restarts?

Yes! All your tracked cryptocurrencies and settings are saved in a database, so they'll be restored automatically even if the bot restarts.

How do I see all available commands?

Type `!crypto help` to see a complete list of commands with examples and descriptions.

Who can see my tracked cryptocurrencies?

Only you can see your tracking list. Each user's tracked cryptocurrencies are private and isolated by platform (Discord, Telegram, etc.).
