Alerts

The Price Action Concepts™ can alert users for multiple events relevant to the existing features in the toolkit. To learn more about how to set alerts in general see how to create alerts on tradingview.

​

Any Alert() Function Call

Users can create a single alert for multiple conditions using the any alert() function call alert condition. Conditions users want to be alerted for are grouped by the type of features they affect (structures, volumetric order blocks, imbalances…etc) and are located at the bottom of the toolkit settings.

Once conditions are toggled on users only need to set an alert using the any alert() function call as condition.

​

Any Alert() Function Call Message

Users can set a custom message that will be used when an any alert() function call condition is triggered in the message field below the list of conditions. Users can use placeholders to customize messages and return useful information, the following placeholders are supported:

​

Symbol Placeholders

​

Time Placeholders

​

Data Placeholders

​

Format as JSON

Use the following message template to receive “any alert() function call” messages in the JSON format:

{
  "alert": "{default}",
  "ticker": "{ticker}",
  "tf": "{tf}",
  "ohlcv":{
    "open": {open},
    "high": {high},
    "low": {low},
    "close": {close},
    "volume": {volume},
    "order block buy volume": {ob_buy_volume},
    "order block sell volume": {ob_sell_volume},
    "order block total volume": {ob_volume}
  },
  "bartime": {time}
}

​

Custom Alert Creator

Users wishing to construct more complex alerts using features within the toolkit and/or external indicators can use the Custom Alert Creator.

The custom alert creator allows alerting when various user-set conditions are met or when a sequence of conditions is complete.

A custom alert can be triggered as an any alert() function call if the setting is selected or as a regular alert when selected in the Tradingview alert creator menu.

​

Steps

Steps allow creating a sequence of conditions, which when met trigger an alert. When a condition with a step equal to 1 is met the next condition associated with step 2 will be evaluated (if enabled) and so on for higher steps (if any).

Conditions with the same associated step will require both conditions to be true in order for the condition associated with a higher step (if any) to be evaluated. This allows certain conditions to act as filters.

​

OR Step Operator

The “OR” step operator can be used to get alerted for any additional condition using “OR” as a step, in addition to other set custom alert conditions.

Conditions using the “OR” step can be highlighted using a different color, which can be set from the Custom Alert Creator settings. Users can choose the location of this visual element (top or bottom of the chart).

​

All Step Operator

The “All” step operator can be used to filter any set “Step” condition, including “OR” and “Invalidate”.

This step operator can be useful if all the steps in a sequence needs to obey a specific rule.

​

Invalidate Step

The “Invalidate” step allows to set a condition as an “invalidation condition”. When this condition is triggered while a sequence of conditions is incomplete, the sequence will restart at step 1.

If multiple steps are set as “Invalidate” any of the conditions being true will reset the sequence of conditions, as such not all of them are required to be true for the sequence of conditions to reset.

​

Invalidation Behaviors

Invalidation behaviors allows adding more restrictions to a sequence of conditions, users can use two different invalidation behaviors described below:

​

Invalidate On Step 1

The “Invalidate On Step 1” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when the condition on step 1 trigger. This prevents the first step condition from happening in between other steps of the condition sequence.

This behavior is useful when the first step of our sequence of conditions needs to never be repeated during the sequence.

​

Invalidate On Any Repeated Step

The “Invalidate On Any Repeated Step” behavior allows to reset an incomplete sequence of conditions when a step is triggered such that it does not respect the set order of conditions.

This behavior is useful when we want a perfectly ordered sequence of conditions to complete, without any step repeating itself.

​

Maximum Step Interval

Users can determine what is the maximum allowed horizontal distance (in bars) between two steps by enabling the “Maximum Step Interval” setting. This allows restricting steps separated by a large amount of bars.

If the amount of bars since a step exceed the set threshold, then the conditions sequence is reset, and we start evaluating from step 1 again.

​

Highlight On Chart

When a custom alert condition is set, a visual element is displayed at the bottom of the chart in order to more easily visualize when the custom alert condition occurs (displayed by default).
