Alternative Assets Alerts

Forex, commodities, and cross-asset correlation alerts

Tickerbot tracks 20 forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, etc.) and 12 commodities (gold, silver, oil, copper, agriculture) updated every 5 minutes. Set alerts on FX crosses, commodity price thresholds, and cross-asset divergence trades.

Currency pairs, precious metals, energy, and agriculture

From dollar strength to gold rallies to oil breakouts — all automated.

Forex pair threshold alerts (currency crosses)

Tickerbot tracks 20 major forex pairs including EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, and emerging market pairs like USD/CNY and USD/MXN. Set alerts for when any pair crosses a technical level you specify.

Example
EUR/USD crosses above 1.10
EUR/USD 1.1012, up from 1.0985 yesterday.

Gold and silver price alerts (safe haven trades)

Tickerbot tracks gold and silver spot prices updated every 5 minutes, plus historical bars for technical analysis. Set alerts for when gold crosses $2,000 or when silver breaks out above key resistance levels.

Example
Gold crosses above $2,100 per ounce
GOLD $2,108/oz, breaking above the 2023 high.

Oil price threshold alerts (energy markets)

Tickerbot tracks WTI crude, Brent crude, and natural gas prices. Set alerts for when WTI crosses $80, when Brent breaks $90, or when the WTI/Brent spread widens beyond historical norms.

Example
WTI crude crosses above $85 per barrel
WTI $86.20/barrel, up 4% on supply concerns.

Copper and industrial metals (the economic bellwether)

Copper is called "Dr. Copper" because it predicts economic expansions and contractions. Tickerbot tracks copper, aluminum, and other industrial metals. Set alerts for when copper crosses key levels — often a leading indicator for equities.

Example
Copper crosses above $4.50 per pound
COPPER $4.58/lb, highest level since 2022.

Agriculture commodity alerts (wheat, corn, coffee, sugar)

Tickerbot tracks wheat, corn, cotton, sugar, and coffee prices. Set alerts for when agricultural commodity prices spike — often driven by weather, supply shocks, or geopolitical events.

Example
Wheat price crosses above $8 per bushel
WHEAT $8.20/bushel, up 15% on supply concerns.

Cross-asset divergence trades (gold vs. miners)

One of the classic cross-asset setups: gold rallies but gold miners don't follow. Tickerbot lets you combine commodity alerts with equity sector alerts to catch divergence trades.

Example
Gold up more than 3% but GDX (gold miners ETF) up less than 1%
GOLD +3.8%, GDX +0.4%. Divergence trade setup.
