# Alerts ## Alerts — Trader's Guide (EN) > **mrD-RSI Pullback** — How to set up **alerts** so you never miss a signal, even when away from the chart, and how to connect **webhooks** for auto-trading bots. *** `🟢 BUY Pullback: BTCUSDT`\ `📊 Timeframe: 60`\ `💰 Entry Price: $50,000.00`\ `📈 RSI: 42.50`\ `🎯 Support (Band): $49,500.00`\ `📉 Low 14: $49,200.00` ### 1. What is the Alerts system? Alerts let TradingView **automatically notify you** when a signal fires, via: * **Push notification** on TradingView app (mobile/desktop) * **Email** to your registered address * **SMS** (depending on TradingView plan) * **Webhook** — POSTs a request to your URL (for auto-trading bots, Discord/Telegram bots, custom systems) * **Sound** in browser > **Benefit:** No need to sit at the chart all day — let alerts run, you'll be notified the moment a signal appears. *** ### 2. 6 built-in Alert modes The system offers **6 alert modes** — pick one based on need: | Alert Mode | Fires when? | For | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | **None** | Disabled completely | Traders who only watch live charts | | **All** | Any signal (Pullback + Advanced + Trend Change + Trend State) | Traders who want to MISS NOTHING | | **Buy/Sell Pullback** | Standard Pullback BUY/SELL fires | Standard pullback traders | | **Buy/Sell Advanced Pullback** | Advanced Pullback only (multi-TF) | High-quality traders | | **Trend Change** | RSI Band cloud flips color (trend reversal) | Regime / position traders | | **Trend State** | RSI state changes (3/2/1/0/-1/-2/-3) | Momentum-state readers | > **Default recommendation:** Pick the **mode matching what you trade**. E.g. trading standard Pullback → choose `Buy/Sell Pullback`. Avoid `All` — it's noisy. *** ### 3. Enable alerts in the indicator #### Step 1 — Open Indicator Settings Click the gear (⚙️) next to the indicator name. #### Step 2 — Find group "ANY ALERT() FUNCTION CALL CONDITIONS" It's at the bottom of the input panel. #### Step 3 — Choose **Signals Alerts Type** Dropdown — pick one of the 6 modes from section 2. #### Step 4 — Save settings Close the panel — settings auto-save. > **Note:** Steps 1-4 only **enable trigger conditions** in code. To make TradingView actually notify you, do the next section. *** ### 4. Create an Alert in TradingView After enabling the mode in the indicator, **you must create 1 alert** in TradingView to receive notifications: #### Step 1 — Click "Alert" in TradingView * Desktop: 🔔 button on the toolbar * Or shortcut: `Alt + A` #### Step 2 — Choose Condition * **Condition** dropdown → choose `mrD-RSI Pullback` * **Sub-condition** → choose `Any alert() function call` > **Important:** Must be `Any alert() function call`, NOT other conditions in the dropdown. #### Step 3 — Choose Trigger * `Once Per Bar Close` (default, recommended) — fires only at bar close → no spam, no repaint #### Step 4 — Choose notification channel * **Notify on app** — mobile push (need TradingView app) * **Send email** — receive email * **Webhook URL** — connect auto-trading bot (see section 6) * **Play sound** — browser sound #### Step 5 — Set Alert Name Use a memorable name, e.g. `BTCUSDT 1H Pullback`. #### Step 6 — Click "Create" Alert is active. Whenever a signal fires → you get notified. *** ### 5. Additional alertcondition() — Trend Bands Beyond the 6 modes above, the indicator provides **2 dedicated alertcondition()** for **Trend Bands**: #### A) Trend Bands: Bullish 🟢 Fires when RSI Band cloud flips from red → green (bullish trend start). #### B) Trend Bands: Bearish 🔴 Fires when RSI Band cloud flips from green → red (bearish trend start). **Usage:** * Create alert as usual, in "Sub-condition" → choose one of these instead of `Any alert() function call` * Each condition needs its own alert if you want both > **When to use:** When you only care about big trend reversals (cloud flip), not Pullback signals. *** ### 6. Webhook integration (for auto-trading bots) #### What is a webhook? A webhook = TradingView sends a **POST request** with JSON to your URL when an alert fires. Your URL receives the message → bot processes → places trade automatically. #### Step 1 — Get a webhook URL * **Self-hosted:** Run a server (Node.js, Python Flask, ...) accepting POST * **Use a service:** 3Commas, Cornix, Wundertrading, Pinescript-Webhook, ... #### Step 2 — In "Create Alert" dialog * Tick **"Webhook URL"** * Paste your webhook URL * In **"Message"**, write JSON in the format your bot expects, e.g.: ```json { "ticker": "{{ticker}}", "action": "buy", "price": "{{close}}", "interval": "{{interval}}", "timestamp": "{{timenow}}" } ``` #### Step 3 — Test the webhook * Save alert * Wait for a real fire, or use TradingView's test (if available) * Check your webhook server log for the received message *** ### 7. Tips for using Alerts effectively #### 🎯 Tip 1 — 1 alert / 1 ticker / 1 mode Don't create one "All Signals" alert for 10 tickers → flood. Create **separate alerts** for each `(ticker, mode)` pair. #### 🎯 Tip 2 — Once Per Bar Close is the golden default Never pick "Once Per Bar" or "Realtime" for this indicator — you'll be spammed every tick. **Once Per Bar Close** = fires only at bar close. #### 🎯 Tip 3 — Different setup for different style | Style | Recommended mode | | ---------------- | ---------------------------- | | Day-trade | `Buy/Sell Pullback` | | Swing | `Buy/Sell Advanced Pullback` | | Position / DCA | `Trend Change` | | Reading momentum | `Trend State` | #### 🎯 Tip 4 — Combo with other indicators Create multiple alerts simultaneously: * Alert 1 (Pullback) → fires on entry signal * Alert 2 (Trend Change) → fires when cloud flips → exit everything → You get both entry and exit signals. #### 🎯 Tip 5 — Test alerts before trusting Before letting alerts run "for real", create one on a chart you're watching live → wait for one fire → confirm notifications arrive correctly. #### 🎯 Tip 6 — Different sound per asset If you trade many assets, set different sounds per alert → instantly know which asset fired without opening the chart. #### 🎯 Tip 7 — Webhook security 2FA If a webhook connects to a real-trade bot, **secure the URL** (HTTPS, secret token, IP whitelist). If leaked → others can spoof signals → bot trades wrong. #### 🎯 Tip 8 — Setup alerts for both Pullback + Trend Change Common workflow: * Alert mode `Buy/Sell Pullback` → entry signals * Alert mode `Trend Change` (alertcondition Bullish/Bearish) → exit signals when trend flips → Ensures you never "diamond hand" a reversed trend. *** ### 8.

Common mistakes with Alerts | Mistake | Fix | | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | Picking "All" for every asset | Notification flood — pick a specific mode | | Setting "Realtime" instead of "Bar Close" | Tick spam — always Bar Close | | Creating 50 alerts then forgetting | Manage periodically, delete unused | | Forgetting to reset expired alerts | Free TradingView alerts last 2 months — re-set | | Public webhook URL | Hackers spoof → bot loses money | *** ### 10. FAQ #### Q: Maximum number of alerts? **A:** Depends on TradingView plan: * Free: 1 active alert * Pro: 20 * Pro+: 100 * Premium: 400 → Trading many assets, you need at least Pro+. #### Q: Do alerts expire? **A:** Yes. Free/Pro alerts last max 2 months. Then auto-expire. Reset or use Premium (forever). #### Q: How long is the webhook delay? **A:** Usually < 1 sec from bar close. Sometimes 5-10s lag during busy times. Don't build strategies dependent on micro-latency. #### Q: Can I auto-trade without a webhook? **A:** Some services (like Coinrule, AltSignals) integrate directly with TradingView via API. But webhooks are most universal. #### Q: Do alerts repaint? **A:** No. The indicator uses `barstate.isconfirmed` for most signals → alerts only fire on closed bars → never "vanish" after firing. *** > **Mantra:** "Right alert = no missed signals. Wrong alert = flood. Smart alert = sleep well, trade well." --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
