FXPulse Discord Bot
A Discord-first market intelligence assistant streaming FX and commodity analytics directly into trading communities.
Project Overview
FXPulse brings institutional-grade market data into Discord. Built on Discord.js v14 and Node 18, it delivers slash-first workflows, indicator-rich embeds, and voice ticker automation sourced from the Finance API hosted at finance.khorami.dev.
Development Process
Challenges
Designing embeds that stay readable while surfacing dense analytics, handling API authentication changes, and keeping voice channels synchronized without rate-limit hits.
Solutions
Implemented a caching layer with last-good fallbacks, introduced configurable API credentials via FINANCE_API_KEY/FINANCE_API_BEARER, and orchestrated per-guild ticker jobs with exponential backoff when markets close or APIs stall.
Results & Impact
Empowered trading communities with real-time FX intelligence right inside Discord, improved resiliency against upstream hiccups, and gave admins fine-grained control over permissions, locales, and automated voice tickers.
