    Alerts

    V5 ships 18 alert conditions so you never have to watch the chart. Set them once per symbol and timeframe.

    Setting one up#

    1. 1
      Right-click the chart and choose Add alert
      Or press the alarm-clock icon in the right toolbar.
    2. 2
      Set Condition to SimpleAlgo
      Pick the indicator, then pick the alert from the second dropdown (e.g. 🟢 Buy Signal).
    3. 3
      Set Trigger to Once Per Bar Close
      This matches how signals are confirmed and prevents false alerts mid-bar.
    4. 4
      Choose notifications
      Enable push notifications to get alerts on the TradingView mobile app; add email or webhook if you need them.
    5. 5
      Save
      Repeat per symbol and timeframe — TradingView alerts are chart-specific.
    Always use Once Per Bar Close
    Setting alerts to Once Per Bar will fire mid-candle on conditions that can still change. Bar close is the only setting that matches the signals printed on your chart.
