GUIDE · ALERTS & DELIVERY

Alerts

Two delivery paths, one discipline. On TradingView, every Alpha indicator exposes every event through a single alert — one per chart, no picking through conditions. On the platform, the Alignment page and Live Tape carry the multi-clock events a single chart can't see. Everything fires on confirmed closes only.

TradingView alerts

  1. Open the alert dialog on your chart.
    The clock icon, or Alt+A, with the ticker and timeframe you want to watch loaded.
  2. First Condition dropdown: the Alpha script.
    Alpha Bands, Alpha Oscillator or Alpha Structure — whichever chart you're arming.
  3. Second dropdown: “Any alert() function call”.
    It's the first option. Same choice on all three indicators. Everything else in that menu — the individual plots, the levels, and the operator list (Crossing Up, Greater Than…) — is raw plot data for building custom conditions; you never need any of it.
  4. Delivery and save.
    Push, email, sound or webhook; set expiry to open-ended. Done — that one alert now carries every event the script prints, each with a named message. Alerts run server-side, so your chart doesn't need to stay open.
One alert per indicator per ticker per timeframe is the whole setup. The message names the event every time — the regime flip with its direction (and an elevated-volume tag when it applies), each extension level by name with the level, the trail cross with its direction, exhaustion with the direction.

Short Term Alerts

The platform watches what a single chart can't: alignment across clocks. When the 1, 5 and 15 minute regimes lock in the same direction on one of the tracked names, the triple lock prints on the Live Tape the moment it confirms and stays on the chart while it holds. The swing read is the same on 30 minutes, 2 hours and daily.

Alert hygiene

The failure mode of every alert system is volume. Start with one ticker's daily Bands flip and live with it for a week before adding anything. Add the Oscillator only on the names you actually follow, and leave the minute-clock events to the workspace — that's what the tape is for. An alert you've learned to ignore is worse than no alert.
