Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Alerts
A comprehensive walkthrough of creating your first alert from start to finish.
Getting Started
Setting up your first alert might seem overwhelming, but we've broken it down into simple steps. Follow this guide and you'll have your first alert active in under five minutes.
Steps to Create Your Alert
- Log in and open Alerts
Log into your TradeSlayers account and navigate to the "Alerts" section in the main menu. Click the "Create Alert" button to open the alert configuration wizard.
- Search for your asset
Search for the asset you want to monitor. You can search by symbol (e.g., BTC, ETH) or by name. Once you select an asset, you'll see its current price and recent price history.
- Choose your alert type
Choose your alert type. Select "Price Above" if you want to be notified when price breaks above a level, "Price Below" for support breaks, or "Price Range" for alerts when price enters a specific zone.
- Enter your price level
Enter your price level. You can type it directly or use the interactive chart to click and set the level visually. Add a small buffer (1-2%) to reduce false triggers from brief price spikes.
- Configure delivery and save
Configure delivery settings. Choose whether you want notifications via WhatsApp, email, or in-app. You can select multiple channels. Set whether the alert should trigger once or multiple times. Name your alert and optionally add tags for organization. Click "Create Alert" and you're done! The alert will be active immediately and you'll receive a confirmation message.
Tips for Setting Up Alerts
Start with a small number of high-quality levels. Use buffers to reduce noise. Name alerts clearly and tag them so you can review which strategies generate the most opportunities.
