TradingView chart alerts sent by SMS

How To Set Up Email To SMS Alerts On Tradingview.com

Ever missed an important entry point on a trade?

Or worse got out of a trade too late?

One of the keys to maximising profits and avoiding losses in trading is timing your entries and exits but unless you’re a full-time trader, chances are you’re not glued to 5 monitors watching red and green candles all day long.

If you are a part-time trader or just do trading as a hobby then alert notifications are going to be one of your go-to weapons.

While most traders will set up tradingview alerts using email this can introduce some potential problems like having the alert find its way into the spam folder or simply not seeing your emails in time potentially missing out on buy and sell opportunities.

Introducing ‘SMS Trading Alerts’ from 160.com.au

Recently, we added a new tradingview email to SMS feature that allows traders to receive a text message alert as soon as a target has been hit on your trades.

Never miss another critical entry or exit gain

Unlike email, you always know when a text message comes through.

Imagine receiving a timely SMS alert seconds after an important level has been met on your chart?

This is especially important if you’re trading in crypto assets that move incredibly fast.

How many times have you missed a key entry point or got out of a trade too late?
