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
