Overview of TradingView Alerts

Overview of TradingView Alerts 

TradingView alerts provide instant notifications when the market satisfies your specific conditions. For instance, you might set an alert for Notify me if Apple rises above $150. All users can receive visual pop-ups, sound alerts, email notifications, and email-to-SMS alerts, as well as PUSH notifications sent to their mobile devices. Additionally, Essential, Plus, and Premium users have the option to receive webhook notifications when an alert is activated.

You can set up alerts for prices, indicators, strategies, and drawing tools.

Real-Time Price Alerts 

Customize alerts to receive notifications on any device. Select a significant price level and create an alert that activates upon movement. Notifications can be sent via email, mobile push, or desktop.

Indicator Alerts 

Generate alerts based on over 1,000 indicators available on TradingView, including community-created ones. Tailor each alert with predefined conditions like crossing up or exiting channel, or establish your own trigger settings using alertcondition and alert functions.

Strategy Alerts 

Set alerts for strategies to receive notifications whenever a strategy's order is executed.

Draw Your Own Alerts 

Create personalized alerts based on your chart analysis. Utilize the line drawing tool to make trend lines, channels, or other custom shapes, and then set alerts based on your drawings.

Alert Types 

- Crossing: The most fundamental alert, which notifies you when the price crosses a specified level, regardless of direction. 

  Example: Alert me when Google rises by $10 from its current price. Open a GOOGL chart, access the Alert menu, and set the price to $1550.30. Alternatively, right-click on the chart at $1550.30 to set the alert.

- Crossing Down / Crossing Up: A more specific version of the Crossing alert that allows you to define the direction of the price movement. The Crossing Down alert activates when the price crosses below the set value, while Crossing Up notifies you when it crosses above. 

  Example: Microsoft is at $44.54. I expect it to drop to $42 before rising again. I want an alert for when MSFT crosses $42 upward.

- Greater Than / Less Than: These alerts notify you when the price surpasses or falls below a specified level. 

  Example: Apple is at $97.79, approaching $100. I want to be alerted when it goes above $100.

- Entering Channel / Exiting Channel: Alerts that trigger when the price enters or exits defined channel boundaries, indicating significant price movement. 

  Example: Cisco typically fluctuates around $2 after earnings. If it moves outside of this $2 range, I want an alert.

- Inside Channel / Outside Channel: Alerts that notify you if the price is within or outside a specified channel, without considering the previous bar's position relative to the channel. 

  Example: This is similar to Entering/Exiting Channel alerts but focuses on whether the value is inside or outside the defined range.

- Moving Up / Moving Down: These alerts track price movements over a defined time frame. A Moving Up alert triggers if the price increases by a specified amount within a set number of time periods, while Moving Down does the same for decreases. 

  Example: I want to know if Google increases by $10 within the next 4 days.

- Moving Up % / Moving Down %: Similar to the Moving Up/Down alerts, but based on percentage changes. 

  Example: I want to be alerted for a 10% increase. If the current price is $97.40, this sets the target at $107.14 automatically.

Alerts for Drawings 

.

Alerts can also be set for various drawing tools

If a drawing has an active alert, you’ll see an icon next to the drawing (same color as the drawing).

If the alert is inactive, the icon becomes gray. 

If the drawing is modified, the alert will be updated automatically. Please note that drawing alerts, similar to indicator alerts, are influenced by the chart resolution and will only activate for the specific timeframe chosen when the alert was set up. Furthermore, only one alert is permitted for each drawing.
