In part 2 of this TradingView JS API Example Guide, we will be implementing Realtime price updates on the chart. Make sure to read the Introduction, and Part 1 first

To get realtime updates to the chart, we are continuing from Part 1 where we setup a basic charting widget for static data.

This example will use CryptoCompare’s trade level websocket connection to get price updates as they happen.

You can see the demo deployed here on Glitch, and see the code for part 2 here

Part 1 focused on setting up the TradingView Charting Library widget, and getting the JS API to get historic bars from our data source. …

This series is a work in progress, and I will be finishing this guide, covering more TradingView features, as well as enhancing the existing posts. I hope to make this process easier for everyone, so your feedback is greatly welcomed!

TradingView is the most popular tool for Crypto Charting, many exchanges and sites integrate their free Charting Library to provide a powerful charting interface that traders are familiar with.

However, the process of getting up and running with the charting library is confusing and poorly documented. This is evidenced by the large number of similar issues submitted to the project.

My goal with this tutorial series is to show you how I went about setting this up myself, using CryptoCompare as a free source of price data. …

Check out the Introduction to this tutorial series, if you haven’t already. Setting up TradingView charts can be a convoluted process, so please excuse the disclaimers and notes.

Disclaimer: The TradingView charting library is a free, but private project on Github that you must apply for access to. The license agreement I believe bars me from distributing it to you, so to complete this guide fully you will need to apply for access to download the charting library.

To run this part of the tutorial locally (assuming you have access to the charting library) clone the repo available below, and then copy the charting library folder into the /public/ directory in the part1 folder. …

My Chiang Mai changes everyday while I just try to keep up!

Hello family and internet strangers! I am indeed alive, as evidenced by the website I made to keep y’all in step with my daily life, called himom.glitch.me! Here is my first little update on my adventures in Thailand!

My Chiang Mai changes everyday. I’ve focused on keeping up instead of reflecting on it. Today I renewed my 30 day visa-on-arrival to stay here another 30, and I had decided before I arrived to write something at this milestone.

Today I realized something, after a day that had basically the same contents of any other day here. My stomping grounds cover a decent amount of the city center so far, I’m pretty comfortable in these areas. …

My Mom is not going to follow me across all my social channels (nor would I want her to!) and updating different networks of people constantly while traveling is it’s own kind of work.

This short guide from IBM’s Glynn Bird about tracking bitcoin’s price with serverless functions really stuck out to me. Enough that I had it bookmarked on Medium and have referred back to it a few times while playing around with creating my own crypto price tracking projects. …

In the world of custom built bots there are two frameworks which reign supreme. Microsoft Bot Framework and Botkit. Both have SDKs that help developers build bots.

As a contributor to Botkit, I see people ask in issues what the difference between Botkit and Microsoft Bot Framework are, and why they should choose one over the other.

Here’s a quick answer for anyone who is building a bot and wondering which framework they should choose!

Every bot developer faces the same challenges: receive messages from a Platform, understand the user’s intent, respond accordingly. This means handling low level parts like sending/receiving messages as HTTP requests, running NLP or regex on user input, tracking conversation state, and triggering code you’ve specified as a response. …
