Last updated
TradingView allows you to set alerts to notify you when specific price conditions or indicator-based criteria are met. Alerts can be sent via popup notifications, email, SMS, or webhook URL, making them highly useful for automated trading and monitoring.
Go to and log in.
Open the chart of the asset you want to set an alert for (e.g., stocks, forex, crypto, or futures).
Click the "Alerts" (🔔) icon at the top of the chart.
Alternatively, right-click on the chart and select "Add Alert".
Condition – Choose what triggers the alert:
Price-based: When the price crosses a certain level.
Indicator-based: When an indicator (e.g., RSI, Moving Average) meets a condition.
Custom Scripts: If using a custom indicator, select the condition from the dropdown.
Trigger Type:
Crossing: When price crosses a level.
Greater Than / Less Than: When price moves above or below a level.
Entering / Exiting Channel: When price moves in or out of a range.
Expiration:
Set when the alert should expire (or choose “Open-ended” for continuous monitoring).
Alert Frequency:
Once per bar: Triggers once per candlestick/bar.
Once per bar close: Triggers at the end of the bar to avoid false signals.
Only once: Triggers once and then stops.
Popup: Shows a notification inside TradingView.
Email: Sends an email when the alert is triggered.
SMS: (For Premium users) Sends an SMS notification.
Webhook URL: Sends the alert to an external system (useful for automation & bots).
Example: Use this for TradingView bots that execute trades automatically.
Review your settings.
Click "Create" to activate the alert.
Click on the Alerts (🔔) tab to view active and past alerts.
Modify or delete alerts as needed.
You can also set up alerts directly on indicators and trendlines by right-clicking on them.
