# Creating Indicator Alerts

## What are Alerts & how do they work?

Alerts are one of the most valuable features available when using the Trading Alpha tools. They allow you to receive notifications whenever a specific trading condition or setup is triggered on one of our indicators.

All Trading Alpha indicators support customizable alerts for our various trading setups. Once configured through TradingView, alerts can be delivered directly to your iPhone, Apple Watch, desktop, email, or other connected devices through the TradingView app.

This allows you to be notified immediately when an indicator prints a signal, helping you identify potential setups early without needing to constantly monitor charts. Properly using alerts is one of the most efficient ways to stay aware of market activity and avoid missing opportunities.

## Creating an Alert?

### Step 1. 

Find the indicator tree located on your chart in the upper left hand corner. Find the indicator you would like to set alerts for in the indicator tree, and click on the "more" icon (3 horizontal dots).

Next select the option to "Add alerts on (Chosen indicator)."

### Step 2.

Choose all the requirements for the Alert. Below is a table explaining how to fill out all the alert requirements and what they mean.

| Box Label       | Action                                                                     |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Condition Box 1 | Leave as is. You already chose the indicator                               |
| Condition Box 2 | **Choose what signal in the indicator that you want to set an alert for?** |
| Options         | **Choose how often you want to be alerted for each signal?**               |
| Expiration Time | Leave as is. (Open ended)                                                  |
| Alert Actions   | **Choose how you would like to be notified when the alert signals?**       |
| Alert Name      | **Choose a custom alert name if you want one.**                            |

### Step 3.

Select the button at the bottom of the requirement section labeled "Create" to finalize and create the alert.

Now you have successfully created an alert for your chosen indicator setup. The more you get in the habit of doing this the more disciplined and precise your entries will become!
