Learn hubBlogMatch each indicator to its alert metric and condition fields.
One rule: an indicator in an alert has the same name as the indicator on the chart and repeats its parameters. COIN indicators always have four more fields: Exchange, Market Type, Coin and Timeframe (1m / 5m / 15m / 1h / 4h / 1d). For order book and trades metrics, picking BTC as the coin adds BTC pairs. TOTAL indicators have no Coin — only Exchange, Market Type and Timeframe, and market-wide liquidations and long/short have no Market Type either. “Exchange” is almost everywhere: order book, trades, RSI/SMA/EMA, MSI, OI, funding, liquidations, totals and composite metrics; for TOTAL the default is Binance.

What cannot be put into an alert: CUM TRADES, CUM S. TRADES Q., ETF FLOWS and market cap — it was removed from all selection lists, old alerts on it keep working.
An indicator in an alert is named like the indicator on the chart and repeats its parameters. Plus there are always Exchange, Market Type, Coin and Timeframe. OI and funding are direct indicators with an exchange choice. What is not in the list — TOTAL TRADES, Depth Index with comparison fields — comes in through “Composite metric”. CUM TRADES, ETF FLOWS and market cap cannot be put into an alert.
