How to Set Alerts Step by Step
The Market Oracle toolkit allows traders to set alerts for multiple events, including but not limited to:
- Buy Signals + Strong Buy
- Sell Signals + Strong Sell
- Take Profits
- Reversal Signals
- Candlestick patterns
- Reactor
- Trend Assistant
Using the built-in alert functionality in TradingView, you can set alerts by following these steps:
Step 1 - Select Alert Conditions and Timeframe
First, navigate to the timeframe and chart where you want to set alerts. For example, if you want to set alerts on the BTCUSD 4-hours chart, open this chart.
Next, open the settings for the indicator by double-clicking on a signal label or clicking the gear icon in the top-right corner. Scroll to the bottom of the settings.
Select alert conditions |
Here, you will see checkboxes. Select the conditions for which you want to receive alerts. For example, if you want alerts whenever a strong buy or sell signal appears, select "Strong Buy" and "Strong Sell," as shown above.
Step 2 - Creating the Alert
Click the "Alarm" icon, as shown in the image below.
Open the alerts menu |
Step 3 - Set the Alert
Select the "Any alert() Function Call." This will apply the custom set of alert conditions you created.

Step 4 - Manage the Alert
Your alert will now appear in the alerts menu. Here, you can manage the alert, delete it, or pause it.
Managing the alert |
TradingView alerts remember the settings used at the time of creation. To set another alert, change the chart and settings, then repeat this process. This will not override your existing alerts. To edit an alert and its settings, you will need to delete the old one and recreate it.
