This lesson focuses on how to use smart alerts in TradingView to stay on top of market movements without constantly watching your charts. It walks you through how to set alerts on price levels, trend lines, horizontal lines, and popular indicators—a must-know feature for efficient trading.

Key Concepts:

✅ Types of Alerts You Can Set:

• Horizontal lines (like support/resistance or custom price levels)

• Trend lines and parallel channels

• Indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD, moving averages, volume, stochastic RSI)

✅ Using Alerts Effectively:

• Create alerts for crossovers like the death cross or golden cross

• Use alerts for volume spikes, MACD zero-line crosses, or RSI divergences

• Set alerts on indicators by drawing horizontal lines directly on the indicator chart

✅ Free Plan Limitations:

• Free TradingView accounts allow one price alert and one indicator alert at a time

• Alerts are customizable (e.g., once per bar close, only once, or every time)

• You can delete and replace alerts as needed

✅ Pro Tips:

• Combine alerts with your technical drawings to automate your trading strategy

• Set alerts on key levels so you're notified when price action approaches critical zones

• Use alerts to monitor multiple assets without staring at your screen all day
