Price alerts: the complete guide

Alerts free you from 24-hour screen-watching — hand key levels to the system and come back when they trigger. Using them well is a big step toward efficiency and fewer emotional trades.

Creating an alert

The fastest way is right on the chart: right-click a price (or a line you drew, or an indicator) → Add alert. You can also click "+" in the alerts panel to configure manually. On desktop the shortcut is Alt + A.

Trigger conditions

• Price: crossing, greater/less than, entering/leaving a range;
• Indicator: e.g. RSI crossing 70, a moving-average cross;
• Drawing: price touching a trend line or horizontal you drew.

Delivery and frequency

Alerts can reach you by desktop popup, phone push, email or webhook (phone push is most useful — it arrives even with the app closed). On frequency, choose once (fires and ends) or every time (recurring) — once for breakouts, recurring for a range you're watching repeatedly.
