Before you start

Choose the intended contract and a valid target. Native terminal price alerts notify you; they do not execute a trading command.

Create an alert

  1. In the terminal command bar, choose Alerts (the bell icon).

Review or cancel

  1. Reopen Price alerts to inspect Active and Triggered entries.

  2. Cancel an active alert you no longer need. A triggered alert is a recorded event, not a pending order.

  3. Check the current market and your account before acting on a notification.

A QATS price alert is a notification. It does not open, close, or protect a position. TradingView webhooks are a separate automation feature.

WHEN YOU NEED A HAND

Common questions

Is this the same as a TradingView webhook?

No. The terminal alert watches a QATS price condition. TradingView webhooks use a separate connection and message to request an account action.

The alert triggered. Where is the order?

A price alert creates a notification, not an order. Check the market and submit a separate trading instruction if needed.

CHECK YOUR RESULT

You’re done when…

The alert appears with the intended symbol, condition and price. A notification is not an order.

If this does not match what you see, use Common questions above or contact support with the page and account details.
