How to Set Up Crypto Price Alerts

Cryptocurrency price alerts notify you when a coin reaches a specific price or meets certain conditions. You can set alerts for price movements, technical indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index), volume changes, or filter matches. Alerts help you stay informed without constantly monitoring the market—essential for tracking volatile assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

To create a price alert: 1) Navigate to a coin's page or use our crypto screener, 2) Click 'Create Alert' or the bell icon, 3) Choose alert type (price above/below, filter-based, etc.), 4) Set your threshold value, 5) Choose notification method (email, push, or both), 6) Save the alert. You'll be notified when conditions are met. This process is similar to setting alerts on platforms like CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap.

Price alerts monitor the market continuously using real-time data. When a coin's price crosses your set threshold (above or below), the alert triggers and sends a notification. For example, if Bitcoin is at $40,000 and you set an alert for $45,000, you'll be notified when Bitcoin reaches or exceeds $45,000. Our system checks prices frequently, similar to how professional trading platforms like TradingView handle alerts.

We offer several alert types: Price alerts (above/below threshold), Filter-based alerts (notify when coins match your filters), Technical indicator alerts ( RSI, MACD conditions), Volume alerts (volume spikes), Change alerts (percentage change), and Range alerts (price within range). Pro users get access to all alert types.

'Once' alerts trigger one time and then become inactive—perfect for specific price targets. 'Recurring' alerts continue to trigger every time conditions are met. For example, a recurring alert for 'price above $45,000' will notify you every time Bitcoin crosses $45,000, even if it drops and rises again. This is useful for swing trading strategies.

Filter-based alerts notify you when any coin matches your saved filter criteria. For example, if you create filters for 'RSI < 30 AND volume > $10M' (indicating potential oversold conditions), the alert will notify you whenever ANY coin meets these conditions. This is powerful for finding new opportunities automatically without manually scanning the market.

You can receive alerts via: Email (sent to your registered email), Push notifications (browser notifications if enabled), or Both. Push notifications are instant but require browser permission. Email notifications are reliable but may have slight delays. We recommend enabling both for critical alerts.

Our alerts check market conditions every minute and send notifications within seconds of conditions being met. However, cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile (see market volatility explained), so prices may change between alert trigger and notification. Always verify current prices on reliable sources like CoinGecko before making trading decisions.

Yes, alerts continue to work 24/7 even when you're not logged in—cryptocurrency markets never sleep! As long as your account is active, alerts will monitor the market and send notifications when conditions are met. You'll receive email notifications regardless of login status, ensuring you never miss important price movements.

Yes! You can set multiple alerts for the same cryptocurrency. For example, set one alert for $45,000 (take profit) and another for $38,000 (stop loss). This helps you manage both upside and downside scenarios—a key practice in risk management.

Yes! You can manage all your alerts from the Dashboard. Click on any alert to edit its conditions, threshold, or notification settings. To delete an alert, click the delete button. You can also pause/resume alerts without deleting them—useful for temporarily disabling alerts during high-volatility periods.

Free users can create up to 10 active alerts. Pro users have unlimited alerts. This ensures free users can set up essential alerts while Pro users can create comprehensive alert systems for multiple coins and strategies. Check our pricing page for more details on plan features.

When an alert triggers: 1) You receive a notification (email/push), 2) The alert shows as 'triggered' in your dashboard, 3) You can see when it triggered and the price at that time, 4) For 'once' alerts, it becomes inactive. For 'recurring' alerts, it remains active for future triggers. We recommend reviewing triggered alerts promptly to make informed trading decisions.
