Alerts on xStation 5 can automatically inform you when important levels to you will be achieved by the market, without having to spend all day in front of the monitor or mobile.
Setting price alerts on xStation 5 is very easy. You can add the price alert of your desired instrument simply by right-clicking anywhere on the chart and selecting ‘Price Alert’:
The below window will appear.
Once the window is opened, you can set a new alert for the desired price (BID or ASK) and a condition which must be fulfilled to activate your alert. You can also add a comment if you wish. Once you’ve configured, your alarm will appear on ‘List of price alerts’ at the top.
Can I view a list of all set price alerts?
In the mobile app, there is currently no single place where you can see a list of all set price alerts. Alerts can only be viewed from the level of a specific instrument - after entering its view, they appear at the bottom of the screen.
In the web version, full access to the list of alerts is available - it is located under the dollar icon at the top of the platform. Here, the user can see both active and already triggered alerts.
What happens after a price alert is triggered?
After the alert is triggered:
In the mobile app, the user receives a push notification, and the alert automatically disappears from the instrument's view.
In the web version, a pop-up notification appears in the top right corner of the screen, and triggered alerts remain visible in the list until the page is refreshed - after the refresh, they are removed.
🚩 Price alerts are displayed only on the platform. There is no option to set notifications in the form of emails.
