Industrial Deployment Guide
  1. Database Setup: Create a new Google Sheet. The script will automatically format headers (Item, Threshold, Timestamp, Status) upon the first post request.
  2. Apps Script Configuration:
    • Go to Extensions > Apps Script.
    • Paste the Backend (GAS) code provided in the code section below.
    • Click the "Clock" icon (Triggers) and add a trigger for the checkPrices function to run "Time-driven" every 15 minutes.
  3. Deployment: Click Deploy > New Deployment. Select "Web App". Set "Execute as" to Me and "Who has access" to Anyone.
  4. Blogger Integration: Copy the Frontend (Blogger) code. In your Blogger dashboard, create a new Post or Page, switch to HTML View, and paste the code.
  5. Verification: Open your live Blogger page, paste the Deployment URL, set a threshold, and click activate. The status dot should turn green and start pulsing.

// 1. Handles Live Data Polling from Frontend
function doGet(e) {
  // Replace with real API fetch if available
  // e.g., var res = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://api.external.com/v1/market/price?symbol=AL");
  // For this template, we simulate real-time volatility
  var mockLivePrice = (2400 + Math.random() * 100).toFixed(2);
  
  return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({
    price: mockLivePrice,
    timestamp: new Date().toLocaleTimeString()
  })).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}

// 2. Saves Guard Thresholds from Frontend
function doPost(e) {
  try {
    const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
    const sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
    const data = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
    sheet.appendRow([data.item, data.threshold, new Date(), "active"]);
    return ContentService.createTextOutput("Saved").setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.TEXT);
  } catch (err) {
    return ContentService.createTextOutput("Error").setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.TEXT);
  }
}

// 3. Automated Check (Set this on a Time Trigger)
function checkPrices() {
  const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  const sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
  const data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
  
  // Real check logic would fetch market price here
  const currentMarketPrice = 2500; 

  for(let i=1; i < data.length; i++) {
    if(currentMarketPrice > data[i][1] && data[i][3] === "active") {
      MailApp.sendEmail("your-email@domain.com", "PriceGuard Alert: " + data[i][0], 
        "The price for " + data[i][0] + " has crossed your threshold of $" + data[i][1] + ".");
    }
  }
}
Detailed Legal & Technical Disclaimer:

1. Financial Risk: This tool is provided as a technical template for educational and industrial monitoring purposes. It does NOT constitute financial advice. Commodity markets are highly volatile. Never make trading or purchasing decisions based solely on automated alerts.

2. Data Accuracy: The provided Backend (GAS) code uses mock price generation for demonstration. For production use, you MUST integrate a verified market data API. ProScriptStack is not responsible for losses incurred due to data inaccuracies or latency.

3. Technical Limitations: Google Apps Script has daily quotas for URL fetch requests and email sends (typically 100-1500 per day depending on your account type). Exceeding these quotas will cause the alert system to fail silently.

4. No Warranty: This software is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Users assume all responsibility for implementation and maintenance of the cloud infrastructure (Google Sheets/GAS).
