Price Alerts Complete Guide
What this helps you do
This guide helps you use Price Alerts to keep track of key price levels without babysitting a chart. You will learn where to find the Alerts panel, how to create and manage alerts (including One-Click Doji Price Alerts), and how the Alert Logs work.
What Price Alerts are
A Price Alert notifies you when a symbol hits a price level you set, using a simple condition like Greater than or Less than. Alerts can be created manually from the Alerts panel, or generated automatically as One-Click Doji Price Alerts from the Doji Screener. Both types appear in the same Alerts list.
Where to find the Alerts panel
Open the Alerts panel from the right-side workspace tools area, then click the Alerts tab (next to Watchlist and Chatroom). The panel has two main sections:
At the top, Alerts, which shows your current alerts.
At the bottom, Alert Logs, which shows your alert history (including deleted alerts).
Understand the Alerts list
Each alert row shows the essentials at a glance:
The alert name (example: “ALB Doji Bull”).
The symbol and condition (example: “ALB Greater than $134.01”).
The status and expiration line (example: “Active” and “Expires tomorrow”).
On the right side of each alert, you will also see quick controls (for example, an icon to stop an alert, and an icon to start it again when it is stopped), plus a three-dot menu for additional options.
Create a regular Price Alert
To create an alert manually, click the plus icon at the top-right of the Alerts section. This opens the Create Alert window, where you configure:
Condition: Choose the symbol you want to monitor, then choose whether the alert triggers when price is Greater than or Less than your level.
Price: Enter the exact price you want the alert to watch.
Expiration: Choose the date the alert should expire. The Create Alert window notes that alerts expire at market close.
Alert Name: Optional, but helpful. The field supports up to 40 characters.
Choose notification methods
In the Create Alert window, you can select one or more notification options:
Notify in app
This sends a push notification through the mobile app.
Show pop-up
This displays an in-platform pop-up notification.
Play Sound
This adds sound to the pop-up notification (only available when pop-ups are enabled).
Send email
This sends an email notification when the alert triggers.
When you are ready, click Create.
Alert statuses
Alerts can appear in different states:
Active
The alert is running and will trigger until it expires.
Stopped
You manually paused the alert, so it will not trigger until you start it again.
Expired
The alert reached its expiration date.
One-Click Doji Price Alerts
One-Click Doji Price Alerts are created in the Doji Screener, but they appear and are managed in the same Alerts panel as your regular alerts.
When you create a Doji alert for a symbol, the system creates two alerts:
A bullish alert that triggers at the Heikin-Ashi high + $0.01.
A bearish alert that triggers at the Heikin-Ashi low – $0.01.
Expiration matches the Doji timeframe:
Daily Doji alerts expire at the end of the next trading day.
Weekly Doji alerts expire the following Friday.
Default notifications for One-Click Doji alerts are created with email, mobile push, and in-app pop-up enabled, with sound off by default.
Sort and filter what you see
Use the three-dot menu at the top-right of the Alerts section to control what is displayed. This is where you can narrow the list (for example, to alerts related to the symbol currently on your chart) and switch between views like all alerts versus active or inactive alerts, depending on what you need at that moment.
Alert limits
Price Alerts have a limit. The UI shows an indicator near the Alerts header (a count next to the clock icon, and a ring indicator) to help you track how close you are to the cap.
If you hit the limit while creating alerts (including Doji alerts, which create two at once), you will see a notice and will need to delete older alerts to free up space.
Alert Logs
Alert Logs is the history area at the bottom of the panel. It shows items like deleted alerts, along with the symbol, the condition, and when the log entry was created.
At the top-right of Alert Logs, you have two controls:
Restore Logs
Click the restore icon to choose a date and recover logs starting from that point.
Delete All Alert Logs
Click the X icon to remove all log entries. The platform will warn you that you can restore them later using Restore Logs.
You can also remove individual log entries by clicking the X on the far right of a specific log row.
