Whether you’re a seasoned trader or just starting out, this guide will help you take your trading game to the next level.

Introduction

Setting up alerts is easy and can be done in a few simple steps. Price level alerts notify you when the price reaches a certain level, while volume alerts are based on volume conditions. Indicator alerts are based on technical indicators such as moving averages or TradingWhale’s Chart or Drawing Tool Alerts alerts will notify you when conditions based on a chart drawing are met. Finally, script alerts can be customized with your own code.

Setting Alerts

Setting up an alert on TradingView is easy and can be done by clicking on the alert icon next to the chart you want to monitor. You can customize alerts by setting specific conditions like price thresholds or technical indicators like MACD, or one of TradingWhale’s indicators such as the ‘Trend Reversal Oscillator‘, the Long & Short Entry & Exit Optimizer, or the OMEGA signal indicator.

Alert Types

There are different types of alerts available. They include…

• Price alerts
• Volume alerts
• Indicator alerts
• Chart / Drawing Tool alerts
• Script alerts

Price Alert

To set up a price alert, simply select the instrument you want to monitor, click on the “Alert” button and specify the target price or price crossing a specific level or moving in other ways.

Volume Alert

To set up a volume alert, simply select the instrument you want to monitor, click on the “Alert” button, select Volume from the dropdown and define the volume condition logic.

Indicator Alert

Another useful feature is setting alerts on indicators, such as moving averages or MACD, which allows traders to monitor changes in market trends. However, it’s important to choose the right indicator and set the alert at the appropriate level to avoid false signals that may lead to poor trading decisions. Take a look at our premium indicators here.

Drawing Tool Alert

One of the most useful features is the ability to set up alerts based on drawing tools. There are several types of drawing tools that you can set alerts for, including trendlines, channels, and Fibonacci retracements.

Script Alert

Traders can also create custom scripts and add alert functionality to them, making it easier to track and respond to market trends. To add alert functionality to an existing script, traders can use the “alertcondition” function in Pine Script.

Alert Triggers

The next step is to set the alert trigger. Here you have the options between getting an alert ‘Only Once’, ‘Once Per Bar Close’, ‘Once Per Bar’, or ‘Once Per Minute.’

Do TradingView Alerts Expire?

All Alerts have an expiration date, unless you are on the Premium plan. If you are on Pro+ or lower, you will have to periodically look at the expired alerts and give them a new expiration date in the future if you want to revive them.

Can I Pause, Delete, or Reactivate Multiple Alerts At Once?

Similarly, deleting multiple alerts at once is just as simple: select the relevant alerts and click on the “Delete Selected” button.
