Alerts and their importance in automated trading

Automated trading allows traders to optimize their strategies, avoid emotional influence, and trade 24/7. One of the key tools for this is alerts in TradingView, which can serve as signals for trading bots. In previous articles, we have discussed the advantages of automated trading and the theoretical part of trading strategies. In this article, we will look at what alerts are, what they are for, and how Alertatron uses them for automated trading on VOOI.

📘 What are alerts in TradingView?

TradingView is one of the most popular platforms for technical analysis. Its alerts feature allows you to receive notifications when certain conditions are met, making it an ideal tool for automating trading.

Alerts can be triggered based on:

• Reaching a certain price level

• Crossing of indicators (for example, moving averages)

• Conditions defined by custom Pine Scripts

📌 What alerts are needed for automated trading?

The right choice of alerts depends on your trading strategy. Let’s consider the most common types of alerts:

1. Breakout alert for support or resistance levels

This alert is used to enter a trade when key levels are broken.

2. Moving average crossover alert (SMA/EMA)

A fast and slow moving average crossover can signal a trend change.

3. RSI overbought/oversold level crossing alert

The RSI can show moments of market overheating, which are good entry/exit points.

So, in simple terms, based on your strategy, you build an alert that will be triggered when certain conditions are met. After that, the alert will transmit messages to the Alertatron trading bot (we will talk about this in the next article) and based on these messages, the bot will open or close positions.

Correctly setting up alerts in TradingView allows you to fully automate the process of trading on VOOI through Alertatron. The choice of strategies and proper testing will help you achieve maximum results. If you want to improve your trading efficiency, try implementing automation today!
