General TradingView information. This section describes standard TradingView behavior, not a QuantNomad-specific feature. TradingView updates its interface regularly, so menu names and positions may differ slightly from what you see. When in doubt, check the TradingView Help Center.
An alert tells TradingView to watch a condition on its servers and notify you when it happens, even when your browser is closed. With QuantNomad indicators, the condition is usually one of the indicator’s alert conditions, such as a buy or sell signal.

​
How an alert is built

Every alert has four parts:

​
Key concepts

Once created, an alert runs on TradingView’s servers on the symbol and timeframe you created it on. You don’t need to keep the chart open.
An alert saves the indicator’s inputs as they were when the alert was created. Changing the indicator’s settings on the chart afterwards does not update existing alerts. To use new settings, delete the alert and create it again.
Options such as Once Per Bar can fire while the bar is still forming, so a signal can trigger an alert and then disappear before the bar closes. Once Per Bar Close only fires on closed bars. See Confirmed vs Unconfirmed Signals.
The number of active alerts, and access to features such as webhook notifications, depend on your TradingView plan. Check TradingView’s pricing page for current limits.

​
Indicator alert conditions

A TradingView script can expose alerts in these ways:
  • Named alert conditions: these appear by name in the second Condition dropdown (for example, a “Buy” condition).
  • Alert function calls: shown as Any alert() function call (or alert() function calls only for strategies). The script itself decides when to fire and what message to send.
  • Order fills (strategies only): fire when the strategy’s simulated order fills. You write the message, and can use strategy placeholders such as {{strategy.order.action}}.
UT Bot v2 and UT Bot Pro are strategies, so they offer both alert() calls and order fills. Which alerts a script provides is specific to that script. See the alert page for each one:
