How an alert works

A condition the platform checks every minute, and a message that goes out when the condition becomes true.

A condition is a line of three parts: left metric · comparison · right metric. For example: COIN B&A DIFF at 3% · > · 50.

No need to keep the chart in front of you. The condition is checked every minute, the message arrives when it becomes true.

For example.

• Condition: COIN B&A DIFF SMART (BID 1.5% − ASK 8%) · ↗ · 0.
• The message arrives the moment demand near price first exceeds supply within 8% above it.
• The ↗ operator gives one message per crossing, not one every minute.

Right rail → Alerts. The empty panel has an Add button, above the list — Create alert. Both open the same editor.

• The editor opens as a dock to the right of the chart; on the /notifications page — the same in a window.
• The alert list is under the dock: segments All / On / Partial / Off, filter by coin and tag.

1. Mode. The Simple and Tree buttons in the header. Simple — one condition or several on one level. Tree — nested groups. Once there are more conditions than the simple form can hold, only the tree remains. The draft is saved automatically. The “Guide” button gives tips on the editor.

2. Condition. A line “left metric · comparison · right metric”.

• Left metric — a list of 45 types: Raw Value (just a number), Symbol Price (coin price), platform indicators under the same names as on the chart, price-based technicals (COIN RSI, SMA, EMA, Stochastic, ATR), Composite metric, Metric pair. The list has search.
• For the selected type the form adds its fields itself: Coin, Market Type, BTC pairs (for the BTC coin), Timeframe, Delta Percentage, Ask/Bid Type, Value Output Type, Total type and others. Which fields each metric has — see the table in the next lesson.
• Compare Type — 11 operators, table below. The meaning of the selected one is written under the field.
• Right metric — the same list. Raw Value gives a “Value” field. Symbol Price — the coin price. An indicator — a second set of fields. By default the form opens with Raw Value on both sides — this is a template, change the left side to a metric.
• The “↗ +%” and “↘ −%” operators have no right side: they compare with the previous bar, only a percentage is set.
• Price filter — under a condition and separately for the alert as a whole: no filter / only when the price is above the previous signal / only when below. Also: “Signal expires after” N hours or days and “without a live signal, compare with the period extreme”.
• Add a second condition — “Combine with” AND / OR appears. After the second condition the form offers to switch to the tree.

3. Condition tree. Groups with a name and color (None / Green / Yellow / Red), AND or OR inside a group, groups nest inside each other. Each row and group has an action panel: add condition, add group, duplicate, ↑ / ↓, copy and paste into another group, collapse / expand, delete. The toggle on a row or group temporarily turns it off without deleting it — that puts the alert in the “Partial” segment. At the top: search by conditions, “Collapse all / Expand all”, breadcrumbs “depth N of M”.

4. Name. This is the text of the Telegram message. In the list it is cut to one line.

5. Where to send.

• Enable Telegram alerts → pick your bot, “Add Bot”, “Test”. Without a connected bot the alert will not save; or turn Telegram off and keep only Webhook.
• Webhook — URL and method GET or POST. A Telegram webhook address also needs a Chat ID.

6. What goes into the message. Three presets: Short — name only; With numbers — condition names and their values; Custom template — built with toggles in “Template details”: display only custom text, include formula, show only success metrics, raw conditions, custom names, result values, include current price for coin (and which coin). Below it, “Message preview” — the exact text as it will arrive.

7. Delay since last fired. 1m · 3m · 5m · 10m · 15m · 30m · 1h · 2h · 4h · 6h · 8h · 12h · 1d · 2d · 3d · 5d · 7d. Until the pause is over, the alert is not checked. Toggles: Is One Shot — the alert is deleted after it fires; Is Active — on or off.

8. Chart mark. A symbol of up to two characters, mark color (eight presets or your own), text color.

9. Tags. Your own labels for filtering the list.

10. At the bottom. “What will happen” — the assembled condition retold in words, check against it. Buttons: Cancel, Share (link or JSON), Save.

Bottom of the editor: delay since last fired, Is One Shot and Is Active, chart mark, tags, “What will happen”
