# How to setup alerts in TradingView

## How to Add Alerts in TradingView

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.

***

### 📌 Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Alerts in TradingView

#### **Step 1: Open TradingView and Select Your Chart**

1. Go to [**TradingView**](https://www.tradingview.com/) and log in.
2. Open the chart of the asset you want to set an alert for (e.g., stocks, forex, crypto, or futures).

***

#### **Step 2: Click on the Alerts Button**

1. Click the **"Alerts" (🔔) icon** at the top of the chart.
2. Alternatively, right-click on the chart and select **"Add Alert"**.

***

#### **Step 3: Set the Alert Conditions**

1. **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.
2. **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.
3. **Expiration:**
   * Set when the alert should expire (or choose “Open-ended” for continuous monitoring).
4. **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.

#### **Step 4: Choose the Alert Notification Method**

1. **Popup:** Shows a notification inside TradingView.
2. **Email:** Sends an email when the alert is triggered.
3. **SMS:** (For Premium users) Sends an SMS notification.

   * Example: Use this for TradingView bots that execute trades automatically.

***

1. Review your settings.
2. Click **"Create"** to activate the alert.
