Alerts are extremely useful for notifying the user when their chosen condition has met in real-time, which has many benefits to a trader's trading style such as stopping them from staring at charts for too long and increasing their chances of having a high probability trade when the right price level or condition hit. When the alert you've made has hit, TradingView will send you a notification to your connected mobile devices, it can also send you an email and it can appear as a web hook to other sources or as a pop up within the charts.
All of NVME Trading indicators have built-in alert conditions that are editable via the settings panel so that you can choose what alerts to have and the best part is that you can have multiple conditions for only one alert space!
In order to setup an alert, the user must first have the indicators on the chart for extra alert options to appear and the user need to click on the icon that looks like an alarm clock with a plus icon. The user could also use the following shortcut for a quick access: "CTRL + A" to open the alert creation panel.
Once done, the alert creation panel will appear and you will see a list of input boxes that may need filling in. There is only one thing that you will need to change, which is the condition input box. You should change the condition box from the asset name to the indicator name that you want the alerts for. By default, the second condition input box will be set to "Any alert() function call" and you will not need to change this.
If you have changed the condition box correctly, it should look like this and then you are ready to go and create your alert.
Warning: Before setting up "Any alert() function call" alerts, the user should visit the indicator's setting panel to see what alerts they have checked and by default many items will be checked, which may be unnecessary for the user. They are usually found at the bottom of each settings panel for all NVME Trading indicators.

Also these alerts will support web hooks and custom messages as they are external rather than internal alerts.
After selecting the conditions that you want, your alert fields should look similar to the image below depending on what indicator you have chosen to get alerts from.
Note: Please make sure that on the options, you set your alerts to "Once Per Bar Close" for a full confirmation. We have already encoded a bar close confirmation into our scripts but for just in case the alerts become bugged this would be a good way to prevent spammy alerts.
The conditions input field determines when the alert is going to activate. By default there will be many different conditions available that makes use of price data. If you have selected the condition involving the asset name (example: "GBPUSD"), you will a list of conditions popup as shown below.
Crossing - This condition is a two way version of crossing up or crossing down that will notify the user if price has crossed the user's inputted price level whether its in an uptrend or not.
Crossing Up - This condition works in a similar way to Crossing, however it will only trigger if price crosses over the inputted price level rather than crossing under, therefore this alert type should be used to mark higher price levels.
Crossing Down - This condition works in a similar way to Crossing, however it will only trigger if price crosses underneath the inputted price level rather than crossing over, therefore this alert type should be used to mark lower price levels.
Greater Than - This condition works by alarming the user that the current price of the selected asset is higher than the price inputted by the user.
Lower Than - This condition works by alarming the user that the current price of the selected asset is lower than the price inputted by the user.
Entering Channel - This condition works by placing an invisible horizontal channel within the chart and it will only trigger if the price of the selected asset enters the channel from an out of bounds price level. The upper bound is the maximum price for the channel and the lower bound is the minimum price for the channel, which can be adjusted by the user.
Exiting Channel - This condition works similarly to entering channel, however the alert will only trigger if the price is out of bounds from the channel (leaves the maximum or minimum zones). These zones can be adjusted by the user.
Inside Channel - This condition works by checking whether or not price is within the channel, if so an alert will be triggered and sent to the user. The user has the option of customising the upper and lower bound values for the condition.
Outside Channel - This condition does the opposite of the inside channel condition and checks if the price is outside of the channel, if so an alert will be triggered and sent to the user. The user can also customise the upper and lower bound values for the condition.
Moving Up - This condition allows the user to get an alert only if price has moved upwards by the amount set. Also, the alert has a specified number of bars lifespan before it expires, which can be changed by the user too.
Moving Down - This condition allows the user to get an alert only if price has moved downwards by the amount set. Also, the alert has a specified number of bars lifespan before it expires, which can be changed by the user too.
Moving Up (%) - This condition is the same as moving up but instead uses a percentage to find the final value.
Moving Down (%) - This condition is the same as moving down but instead uses a percentage to find the final value.
The options input fields determines the behaviour of the alerts, they can change when the alerts are triggered or how many times you get the alert. There are 4 options to choose from.
Only Once - This will set the alert frequency to trigger one time when the condition has met.
Once Per Bar - This will set the alert frequency to trigger every time the condition is met within one bar but will not take into consideration the confirmation of a bar close.
Once Per Bar Close - This will set the alert frequency to trigger every time the condition is met and confirmed on the bar close, which is a delayed version of the alert.
Once Per Minute - This will trigger the alert if the condition has met but it can be triggered again once every minute.
The expiration time of an alert determines how long its lifespan is. You can either set a specific date for the alert to shut down or you can keep it running forever by enabling Open-ended.
Notify On App - When the alerts are triggered you will get notified on your mobile device with the TradingView application. However you will need to be signed in to the profile with the active alerts.
Show Pop-Up - When the alerts are triggered you will get notified on TradingView with a pop-up but this will show only when you are on TradingView to analyse.
Send Email - When the alerts are triggered you will get an email to the email you signed up with on TradingView.
Web hook URL - When the alerts are triggered, TradingView will send a server-side hook to your designated location either an app or a website and it will showcase to you the message and alert name if you set this up properly.
Play Sound - A sound will trigger when the alert has fired.
Send Email-to-SMS - When the alerts are triggered, this will send the alert message to your mobile phone through text messages.
This input field is where you will put the name of your alert, for example "GJ Buy Signal 4HR" using a signal indicator as an alert.
This input field can be used to write a custom message or use placeholders to grab real-time data from the server. Placeholders can be found here:
