Price action alerts
One alert for what the boards detect: pattern breakouts, trendline and swing breaks, divergences, candle patterns, level crosses on heavy volume, and new all-time highs or lows. Watch one coin, a watchlist or a whole exchange, and get everything one check finds in one message.

The alert, as it opens
The one-coin form on BTC on Binance Futures: seven kinds of event to tick, pattern breakouts and trendline breaks to start, on the 4h candles. A watchlist or a whole exchange starts from Scan All Coins.
Price action alerts
Get notified on a coin when a pattern breaks out, a trendline or the last swing high or low breaks, a divergence forms, a candle completes a pattern you picked, a candle on heavy volume closes across a key level, or the price passes its all-time high or low.

Trigger
Only lines the scan had already drawn, and patterns the Patterns board already listed, are reported.
Delivery
For these settings, expect about one a week (from how often this happens on an average coin). Only candles that close after you create it count. First check at 16:00 UTC, when the next 4h candle closes. It stays on until you delete it.
Optional: added to every notification this alert sends.

An illustration of the message format, not a live alert.
Your alert keeps watching after you close this page.
The in-app form with the settings it opens on. The Market view beside it, which draws this market's lines, is left out here, and the first check is given in UTC.
The seven kinds of event
- Pattern breakouts
- A close through the edge of a pattern the Patterns board listed: symmetrical, ascending and descending triangles, rectangles, ascending and descending channels, broadening wedges, rising and falling wedges, and double tops and bottoms.
- Trendline breaks
- A close beyond a trendline the scan drew, by more than 0.2% of the line or one ATR(14), whichever is larger. You can add breaks that fail, retests (a wick counts) and breaks that reverse later, or keep to lines tested 3 or more times.
- Swing breaks
- A close beyond the most recent swing high or low the Levels board marks, when the close before was on the other side. Each swing once.
- Divergences
- On RSI, Stoch RSI, MACD and OBV, regular and hidden, with how many indicators have to agree. Sent once confirmed, 4 to 6 candles after the newer pivot, or earlier if you choose: 2 candles after it, 1 candle after, or at that candle's close.
- Candle patterns
- The candle patterns you pick, and to start only candles bigger than the 20 before them. You can keep to candles at a swing high or low, or with RSI(14) at 30 or below for bullish ones and 70 or above for bearish ones.
- Volume level crosses
- A close across a pivot or Fibonacci level on at least 1.5×, 2×, 3× or 5× the average volume of the candles before it.
- All-time highs and lows
- Price passing a coin's old high or low that stood for at least a day, a week, a month, 3 months or a year. Read every 5 minutes, with no timeframe.
One coin, a watchlist or a whole exchange
- One coin
- The Price action alert page: one market on 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D or 1W, several timeframes at once.
- A watchlist
- From Scan All Coins: the coins in your watchlists, on the same timeframes.
- A whole exchange
- Every coin the boards scan on one exchange, on 4h, 1D or 1W. On 15m or 1h an exchange has an event on almost every candle, so pick a watchlist for those.
- Direction
- Either way, up only or down only.
- Spacing
- On one coin, every close or at most one message an hour, every 4 hours or a day. On a watchlist or an exchange, at most one every 1, 4, 12 or 24 hours, and if you like at most 1, 3 or 5 a day.
When it checks, and what it sends
- After each scan
- The boards' scan runs every 5 minutes on closed candles, and the alert reads what it found. On a 4h chart that's minutes after the close.
- New events only
- Only candles that close after you create the alert count, and each event is sent once. A line first drawn already broken never sends a message.
- One message per check
- Everything one check finds arrives in one message, which uses one notification from your daily limit: up to 10 rows, busiest markets first, and a count of the rest.
- Each row
- The coin and timeframe, what happened, the candle's time in UTC and a line of facts. Most rows open the chart on that event; highs and lows, level crosses and swing breaks open their board.
The messages
One event on one coin gets a message of its own. More than one comes as a list, one row per event. Examples with the app's own test figures, not market data.

Price action alerts FAQ
Still have a question?
Contact support
How is a price action alert different from a trendline alert?
A trendline alert watches one line you pick on one market, from 1m to 1W, and turns itself off after the break. A price action alert reports every new event of the kinds you tick, on a coin, a watchlist or a whole exchange, from 15m to 1W, and stays on until you delete it.
Which chart patterns does it report?
The ones the Patterns board finds: symmetrical, ascending and descending triangles, rectangles, ascending and descending channels, ascending and descending broadening wedges, rising and falling wedges, and double tops and bottoms. Flags and pennants aren't reported.
Can it watch a whole exchange?
Yes, on 4h, 1D or 1W: every coin the boards scan on that exchange. The scan skips coins that are too new or too thinly traded, and stablecoin pairs. For 15m and 1h, pick a watchlist.
How many messages will I get?
At most one per check, however many coins match, and each uses one notification from your daily limit. The form estimates how many to expect as you change the settings, and you can space messages out or cap them per day.
Does it tell me when to buy or sell?
No. Each row says what happened on the chart: the event, the candle, the close and the line it crossed. There are no scores, targets or calls.
Which exchanges and timeframes can it use?
Binance Spot, Binance Futures, OKX Futures, Bybit Futures and Gate.io Futures, on 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D and 1W. A whole exchange takes 4h, 1D or 1W.
Are price action alerts free?
Yes. The free plan includes price action 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.
