Where to find the `crypto-watchdog` example?

Hi guys,

Just a quick one!

I am trying to find the example script is features in the GIF on the examples page.

It has a caption of "crypto-watchdog" However, I cant seem to find that within the example scripts!

Thanks for the help :)

Hi!

I did it in a very quick and dirty manner, and it works by first making a ton of charts, adding a screenshot on every candle – the gif is then compiled from those screenshots. You will need to keep it running for a few hours to be able to make an animation from 1m candles, since the framerate is the same as your candle timeframe. The gif makes it look like it is quick, yet collecting the live historical data for the chart will take some time (the animation actually covers a couple of hours, if you watch the time in the upper right corner).

Apart from the charting script itself you will also need to setup a tool to make screenshots from the console in an automated fashion, every minute (or every timeframe period, depending on the details of your chart).

I've uploaded the actual charting snippet here: https://gist.github.com/kroitor/56e454223d4ee82e1b45d66e744825b3

The technique for making the charts and screenshots with Blessed and GetWindowId is explained here: https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/issues/989

↑ Obviously, the screenshot capability depends on your OS. In my case it was MacOS. A different OS may require a different setup.

Unfortunately, I can't share the full repo, since it was a quick and dirty example, not something we would like to show off (it wasn't intended to be used "as is" because it depends on your setup). So, you will want to check the above links and compile/restore it for your use case from those resources.

Let me know if that does not answer the question.
