Delivered to email, push, Telegram, Discord, Slack or webhook. ## The market, watched for you Set an alert on a price, a drawing or a script, right on Vela, our next-generation charting platform. It runs on our servers around the clock, so it keeps watching after you close the chart, and reaches you wherever you are. Free to start. Unlimited Price Alerts on every plan. Open Vela: https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart ## Unlimited Price Alerts. On Every Plan Set them where you look: at the cursor, on the price scale, on your drawings. Price Alerts have no cap on any plan, Free included. Alert on a level, a channel or a move, then choose how often it fires, the hours it is active, and when it ends: on a date or after a number of fires. - Right where you look. Right-click the price scale or the chart to add an alert at that price, or press Alt+A (Option+A on a Mac) at the cursor. - On your drawings. Select a trend line, ray, horizontal line, parallel channel, rectangle or Fib retracement and add an alert on it. Move the drawing and its alert moves with it. - Lines you can drag. An alert on a price level sits on its chart as a dashed line. Drag it to a new price, click it to edit, and watch it flash when it fires. ## Custom Alerts Run Your Scripts for You A Custom Alert runs a script bar by bar on our servers and fires the moment its condition is met. Point one at one of your saved Pine Script® indicators or strategies, a tool from the LuxAlgo Library, or a condition written by Quant, our coding agent, like RSI crossing under 30. It fires on the output you choose: an alertcondition(), the script’s alert() calls, a plot crossing a value, or a strategy’s entries and exits. - Frozen at the version you chose. A Custom Alert keeps the exact code it was set on. Edit the script and the alert carries on unchanged until you move it to the new version. - Checked before it goes live. When Quant previews a Custom Alert on a script, our servers run it again over the same bars before switching it on, and hold it back if the results differ. - Confirmed, not assumed. Every alert shows Arming, then Live once our servers confirm it, usually within seconds. A market whose data runs late shows Feed delayed. ## Every Order, an Alert Put a Custom Alert on a strategy’s entries and exits, and each order it takes reaches you as an alert. Write the message yourself, with placeholders for the order’s action, size and price, and the editor flags a payload that would break. On paid plans, send it to a webhook signed with your secret, ready for a bot or a trade relay. ## Quant Sets It Up. You Switch It On Quant builds alerts with you, and shows how each one would have fired before it exists. 1. Tested on history first. Quant runs the alert over recent closed bars and tells you how many times it would have fired, how often a day, and whether it would be noisy. 2. Created on your click. The exact alert lands on a card: market, timeframe, condition, frequency and destinations. Nothing exists until you press Create, and the card tells you when it is live. 3. Kept in conversation. Ask Quant to pause, rename or delete an alert, move its level, change how often it fires, or explain why it fired. The bell on a script’s legend row hands that script to Quant for a Custom Alert. ## Delivered Wherever You Are Send each alert to up to 16 destinations, each with its own message. Send a test message before you rely on a destination. Every fire is kept in the log, and Why did this fire? shows the bar, the price and the values behind it. - In-app: A toast in Vela and a count on the bell. - Email: To your account’s own address. - Browser notifications: On this device when an alert fires, even with Vela closed. - Telegram: A chat or a group, connected with a one-time link. - Discord: A channel, through its webhook, on after a test message. - Slack: A channel, through its webhook, on after a test message. - Webhook: A signed request for your bot or trade relay.

Plans and prices: https://www.luxalgo.com/pricing/ (markdown: https://www.luxalgo.com/pricing.md) ## Questions, answered Q: Are Price Alerts really unlimited? A: Yes, on every plan, Free included. Price Alerts have no cap; what scales with your plan is how many Custom Alerts you can run, intrabar timing for them, and webhook delivery. Q: What is a Custom Alert? A: An alert that runs a script for you. A Custom Alert runs the exact code it was set on, bar by bar on our servers, and fires on the output you chose: an alertcondition(), the script’s alert() calls, a plot crossing a value, or a strategy’s entries and exits. Free includes 5 active Custom Alerts; paid plans include 50 to 500. Q: Do alerts keep running when Vela is closed? A: Yes. Every alert runs on our servers, around the clock, so it keeps watching after you close the chart. Browser notifications reach your device even with Vela closed. Q: Where can alerts be delivered? A: In-app, by email to your account’s address, as browser notifications, to Telegram, Discord and Slack, and to webhooks on Essential and up. One alert can go to up to 16 destinations, each with its own message. Q: Can Quant set alerts for me? A: Yes. Ask Quant, our coding agent, and it previews the alert on recent history, then puts it on a card. Nothing is created until you press Create. Later, Quant can pause, edit or delete your alerts, and explain why one fired. Q: Can an alert drive my bot? A: On Essential and up, yes. Put a Custom Alert on a strategy’s entries and exits and send it to a webhook signed with your secret. The message is yours to write, with each order’s action, size and price. Q: How do I know an alert is running? A: Each alert shows Arming, then Live once our servers confirm it, usually within seconds. Every fire is logged with what each destination did, and Why did this fire? shows the bar, the price and the values behind it. Set it, then step away.
