Alerts
Two delivery paths, one discipline. On TradingView, every IQ indicator exposes every event through a single alert — one per chart, no picking through conditions. On the platform, the Signals page and Live Tape carry the multi-clock events a single chart can't see. Everything fires on confirmed closes only.
TradingView alerts
- Open the alert dialog on your chart.The clock icon, or Alt+A, with the ticker and timeframe you want to watch loaded.
- First Condition dropdown: the IQ script.IQ Bands, IQ Oscillator or IQ Structure — whichever chart you're arming.
- Second dropdown: “Any alert() function call”.It's the first option. Same choice on all three indicators. Everything else in that menu — BUY, SELL, the levels, and the operator list (Crossing Up, Greater Than…) — is raw plot data for building custom conditions; you never need any of it.
- 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.
What fires
| Indicator | Events | Message carries |
|---|---|---|
| IQ Bands | BUY/SELL confirmations, fib target hits, trail-stop exits | Ticker, timeframe, direction, level |
| IQ Oscillator | Wave-signal crosses, zone entries and exits, flow flips | Ticker, timeframe, lane, reading |
| IQ Structure | CHoCH, BOS, order-block touches, liquidity sweeps | Ticker, timeframe, tier, level |
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 listed on the Signals page's Short Term view while it holds. The swing equivalent — 30 minutes, 2 hours and daily — is the Triple Signals list on the same page.
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 trade, and leave the minute-clock events to the platform — that's what the tape is for. An alert you've learned to ignore is worse than no alert.
