# Setting up Custom Alerts

How to set Alerts in tradingview

You will have to rely on the default alert system in tradingview for now. In the future we will be upgrading our toolkits for maximum performance enhancements. It is already being actively developed.

# How to set an Alert in tradingview

Open your Chart - Make sure your indicator is already on it.
Click the Alert button - It will be the bell icon at the top. Alternatively: Right-click the chart, and hit "Add Alert."
Pick your Condition - Choose the indicator and when you would like the alert (eg; crossing a level.)
Choose how to get Notified - Pop-up, email, etc. (You can also name the alerts and set how often they go off.)
Finishing up - Hit "Create"
Aaaand... - You are done!

Managing Alerts - Click the bell icon again, to see "Edit" & "Delete Alerts".

You are now finished, and should be ready to enjoy!
