🔔Set Alerts
Never miss a signal with real-time trade alerts
Overview
Review these step-by-step details to learn how to set up alerts in TradingView.
Open Create Alerts Menu
Open the Alerts menu on the right side of the TradingView application.
Create Your First Alert
After opening the "Create Alerts" menu, follow the instructions below to create an alert.
[A] Select the Condition drop-down menu.
[B] Choose one of the E5 Trading indicators from the list.
Note: These instructions are for standard alerts that work for all E5 Trading indicators as long as the Squeeze Filter is not selected.
See Squeeze Filter Alerts to learn how to set alerts with the Squeeze Filter turned on.
[C] Select the alert Condition drop-menu [e.g., alerts [A] through [I] from the [E5 Trading] Squeezes & Breakouts indicator.
[D] Select the frequency [i.e., Options] of Alert notifications:
Only once — an alert is triggered only once; alert conditions have to match the exact parameters that you set for it to be triggered.
Once per bar — the system checks every bar and triggers an alert whenever conditions are met [no more than once per bar].
Once per bar close — same as above, but the bar needs to close for an alert to be triggered.
Once per minute or every time — the system checks conditions every minute and triggers an alert whenever conditions are met.
Recommendation: Once Per Bar Close to avoid false alerts. As each candle forms, it has the potential to create many alerts as the price action oscillates between satisfying and not satisfying the alert condition.
[E] Set the Expiration time, which will automatically stop the alert when the time has expired; some lower-tier TradingView plans have a time limit in which an alert can remain open.
[F] Select Alert actions which specify the various ways you can receive notification of alerts:
Notify on App — to get notified with an alert on your phone, you first must download the latest TradingView app from the AppStore or Google Play.
Show Pop-up — a pop-up message will appear once an alert is triggered; if this option is enabled, a pop-up message will appear, even if you are browsing in another tab [for this feature to work correctly, please allow TradingView to show desktop notifications].
Send Email — an email will be sent to you when an alert is triggered; TradingView will use the email address in your TradingView profile.
Webhook URL — webhooks allow you to send a POST request to a certain URL every time the alert is triggered; note only Pro, Pro+ and Premium users have access to webhooks.
Play Sound — once an alert is triggered, you will hear a sound.
Send Email-to-SMS — use this option to receive notifications on your phone; email-to-SMS is the easiest and free way to send text messages [SMS] from the internet to phones.
Note: This site aims to be the most complete and up-to-date list of international email providers that can be used to send text messages to phones.
[G] Set Alert name, which will be shown in the alerts manager to make it easy to identify alerts.
[H] A custom Message that will be shown when the alert is triggered; a predetermined message is already included, which will display the ticker, exchange and time frame when the Alert signals.
You may change the message and incorporate JSON language as appropriate. The Message box is utilized heavily with the webhook alert notification feature to transmit trade signals to 3rd-party bot platforms like 3Commas and Cryptohopper.
[I] Press Create, and the Alert will be generated.
[J] Press the Clock image on the far right, and the Alerts Manager will display. Alerts can be deleted or modified using the Alerts Manager.
