Price alerts

Goal

Monitor token prices and get desktop notifications when they cross a threshold. Uses mp token retrieve for price checks and OS notifications (osascript/notify-send) for alerts. Observe-only — no funds at risk.

Prerequisites

• mp binary on PATH: which mp
• jq installed: which jq
• macOS: osascript (built-in) or Linux: notify-send (sudo apt install libnotify-bin)

One-shot alert

"Tell me when SOL drops below $80" — checks every 5 minutes, fires once, then disables itself.

Script: ~/.config/moonpay/scripts/alert-sol-below-80.sh

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

MP="$(which mp)"
LOG="$HOME/.config/moonpay/logs/alerts.log"
mkdir -p "$(dirname "$LOG")"
() {   >> ; }
