🔔Creating an alert

Alerts are checked on the server: they work even with the browser closed. You create them with ⏰ Alert at the top, with Alt+A at the crosshair price, from the right-click on the chart or from the ⏰ button of a drawn line.

What the condition is based on

• Script on the chart: an indicator or strategy on the chart. You can choose any alert() or alertcondition(), a single alertcondition, only the alert() calls, the strategy's orders, or a condition on a plot (crosses, crosses up or down, is above, is below a value, the price or another plot). A script without alerts works too, with the condition on the plot.
• Quick condition: ready conditions without writing code, see Quick conditions.
• Price: a level, checked in real time.
• Drawn line: a trendline, even extended, checked in real time.

When it notifies

For scripts and quick conditions (on the chart's timeframe):

• Once at bar close: the signal is final.
• Once per bar: notifies as soon as the condition occurs, even while the bar is forming (the signal may then disappear at the close).
• Only once: then the alert turns off.

For price and lines: on touch (at most once a minute, or just once) or at the close of every minute.

Other options

• Expiration and activation of the alert.
• Channels: App, Telegram, Email, Discord/Slack, Push and Webhook (Notifications and channels); sound of your choice.
• Your latest choices stay as defaults for the next alert.
