Price alerts¶
cTrader can be configured to alert you when the market reaches a certain price.
You receive alerts through in-app pop-up notifications, sounds and emails, which is useful when you are not logged in to cTrader.
Create and manage price alerts¶
Click the Price alerts button in the Instruments toolbar to the right, then click the desired price level in the chart of the corresponding symbol. The New alert menu will open.
Alternatively, select the Price alerts tab in Market Watch and click Create price alerts.
Confirm or select another symbol from the dropdown. Using the corresponding buttons, specify whether you want to be notified when either Ask or Bid price is Higher or equal, or Lower or Equal to a certain value.
Disable or enable the in-app pop-up and sound notifications, and add a text message if you want. Click Create alert to apply changes. The Alerts list will open automatically.
All active price alerts with the basic information are listed here.
Click the X icon to delete the corresponding price alert. Click Back or New alert to the left to create a new price alert, or click Close to close the Price alerts menu.
Note
Price alerts are active even when cTrader is disconnected or closed. In such a case, in-app notifications and sounds do not work, but you can still be notified by email.
Price alerts are displayed in the corresponding symbol chart as yellow lines.
When a price alert is triggered, you will be notified with the respective sound signal and a pop-up with the price alert details.
To receive price alert notifications by email, proceed to the cTID portal, select the Notifications tab and adjust the price alert notification settings for your cTID account.
All price alerts are listed in the Price alerts tab in Trade Watch. Please check the Price alerts tab of the Trade Watch panel for more information.
