This n8n template demonstrates how to automate stock market technical analysis to detect key trading signals and send real-time alerts to Discord. It's built to monitor for the Golden Cross (a bullish signal) and the Death Cross (a bearish signal) using simple moving averages. Use cases are many: Automate your personal trading strategy, monitor a portfolio for significant trend changes, or provide automated analysis highlights for a trading community or client group. 💡 Good to know This template relies on the Alpha Vantage API, which has a free tier with usage limits (e.g., API calls per minute and per day). Be mindful of these limits, especially if monitoring many tickers. The data provided by free APIs may have a slight delay and is intended for informational and analysis purposes. Disclaimer**: This workflow is an informational tool and does not constitute financial advice. Always do your own research before making any investment decisions. ⚙️ How it works The workflow triggers automatically every weekday at 5 PM, after the typical market close. It fetches a list of user-defined stock tickers from the Set node. For each stock, it gets the latest daily price data from Alpha Vantage via an HTTP Request and stores the new data in a PostgreSQL database to maintain a history. The workflow then queries the database for the last 121 days of data for each stock. A Code node calculates two Simple Moving Averages (SMAs): a short-term (60-day) and a long-term (120-day) average for both today and the previous day. Using If nodes, it compares the SMAs to see if a Golden Cross (short-term crosses above long-term) or a Death Cross (short-term crosses below long-term) has just occurred. Finally, a formatted alert message is sent to a specified Discord channel via a webhook. 🚀 How to use Configure your credentials for PostgreSQL and select them in the two database nodes. Get a free Alpha Vantage API Key and add it to the "Fetch Daily History" node. For best practice, create a Header Auth credential for it. Paste your Discord Webhook URL into the final "HTTP Request" node. Update the list of stock symbols in the "Set - Ticker List" node to monitor the assets you care about. The workflow is set to run on a schedule, but you can press "Test workflow" to trigger it manually at any time. ✅ Requirements An Alpha Vantage account for an API key. A PostgreSQL database to store historical price data. A Discord account and a server where you can create a webhook. 🎨 Customising this workflow Easily change the moving average periods (e.g., from 60/120 to 50/200) by adjusting the SMA_SHORT and SMA_LONG variables in the "Compute 60/120 SMAs" Code node. Modify the alert messages in the "Set - Golden Cross Msg" and "Set - Death Cross Msg" nodes. Swap out Discord for another notification service like Slack or Telegram by replacing the final HTTP Request node. An n8n automation workflow template by Raz Hadas.
