Price is part of it yes, but more to do with indicators.
For example, I would like to scan for coins that have 10x volume compared to last period, have crossed above a 20 moving average and RSI is above 80.
This is just an example.
There are hundreds of software that do this for stocks but I cannot find anything that scans Cryptos
if you are not a programmer just pay someone to make something light for you.
Its looking like a custom solution might have to be built. Charts aren't necessarily essential for signals, it's the signal itself. I can always use Coinigy charts after a coin has been identified.
Coinmarketcap is good for filtering out the high and low volume coins, which are the ones that make big moves. Twitter is good too for crypto altcoin news.
I do follow a few Twitter personalities but generally they are all out for themselves and only recommend what they have bought. Like you said though, news on twitter can be helpful and is definitely a tool in an arsenal.
Does anyone know of a programmer who may be able to help?
