How to set up alerts

Setting Up Alerts

Alerts let you receive notifications or trigger automated trading bots whenever block algo flex generates a signal.

Step 1: Open the Alert Dialog

On TradingView, click the Alert button (clock icon) in the right-hand toolbar, or right-click on the chart and select Create Alert.

Step 2: Configure the Alert Condition

1. Condition — Select block algo flex from the first dropdown
2. Signal type — Choose Long (buy signal) or Short (sell signal) from the second dropdown
3. Trigger — Select Once Per Bar Close (recommended). This ensures the alert only fires after the candle closes and the signal is confirmed, avoiding false signals from intra-bar price spikes.

Step 3: Set Up Notifications

Choose how you want to be notified:

• App notification — Push notification on your phone
• Email — Receive an email for each alert
• Webhook URL — Send an HTTP POST to a URL (required for bot automation)
• SMS — Text message notification (TradingView Premium+)

Step 4: Configure for Bot Automation (Optional)

If you are using a trading bot platform (3Commas, Altrady, or any webhook-compatible service):

1. Enter the platform's webhook URL in the "Webhook URL" field
2. Paste the platform's alert message template into the "Message" field
3. Click Create

See the 3Commas Setup and Altrady Setup sections for platform-specific instructions.

Important: TradingView's free plan limits the number of active alerts. If you need more alerts, consider upgrading your TradingView plan.
