The alert checks once a minute, on the last closed 1-hour candle. The candle still forming can change until it closes, so it doesn’t count until then. EMA(50) and EMA(200) are computed on the newest 600 candles, as the alert does, so they can differ slightly from a long-history chart; past crosses are replayed on each candle's final close.

The message, and when it comes again

It fires once per cross, at most once per candle, and only on candles that close after you create it. The message names the cross; it carries no price or EMA value.

Turn on Disable after first trigger for a one-time alert: it fires once, then turns itself off. To watch every coin on an exchange, or the coins in your watchlists, use the EMA scanner in Scan All Coins.

EMA crossover alerts FAQ

Still have a question?
Contact support

What is a golden cross and a death cross?

A golden cross is the 50-period average crossing above the 200-period one; a death cross is the 50 crossing below it. The alert opens on 50 and 200 as exponential averages, and you can set any other pair from 1 to 400.

Can I get an alert when price crosses an EMA?

Yes. Choose Price × EMA and set the period, such as 50 or 200. It fires when a candle closes on the other side of that EMA from the candle before it.

Are the averages EMAs or SMAs?

Exponential. Each EMA is started from a simple average of its first candles and computed on closes, the way the alert's own check computes it.

Which timeframes and exchanges can a EMA alert use?

1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h or 4h, on Binance Spot, Binance Futures, OKX Futures, Bybit Futures, Gate.io Futures or HTX Futures. Each alert reads the candles of the one market you pick.

Can one EMA alert watch many coins?

A EMA alert watches one coin. To watch every coin on an exchange, or the coins in your watchlists, use the EMA scanner under Scan All Coins.

Are EMA alerts free?

Yes. The free plan includes EMA alerts, with 5 active alerts and 10 notifications a day across all of them, by email, push notification, Telegram, Discord, Slack or webhook. No card is needed.
