Add indicator alerts/order triggers

Please consider adding indicator-based alerts and order triggers. Currently, alerts are primarily only useful in terms of receiving price-based notifications. Having indicator-based order triggers would help to open the door to make systematic trading more easily automated.

As an example, I’d like to get an alert when 5-min 3-period RSI is above 90 or below 10 and open a mean reversion trade when it goes above 95 or below 5.

It would be great to see this feature implemented in a way where any currently defined indicator could be selected from a drop down menu as an input to an alert or order. Even better, being able to combine multiple indicators to create complex alerts and order triggers would be ideal, so that if 2 or more criteria are simultaneously met, the alert or order is then triggered.

Yes - every other platform has this… With alerts you can actually walk away from trading until you are alerted and need to see it. Just alerts (Audible) for when the price crosses any standard indicator you have included would be a great start.

In my opinion this is the biggest option that is not currently available. I am keeping a 2nd account open with another broker (Which is tying up money just sitting there) just to get alerts which seems ridiculous…

Please vote for this if you would use it :slight_smile:

Thanks

I am wondering if there is any way I can obtain an indicator which would issue a chime, bell or ring, etc at key market reversals so I could look up from what I am doing and not the need to possibly enter or exit a trade.

It would be best if I could link this chime/bell to any indicator I have on my chart: including, slow stochastic %D or %k, Tiki squeeze histogram reversal, MA reversal. And it could put an up or down arrow on the chart on the same bar that closes which causes the chime to ring.

It would seem like many traders would like this and be willing to pay for such an add-on. I sure would.
Let me know what is possible, or if there is someone I can hire to do this. Thank you.

If it could combine an average of 2 or 3 indicators reversing at the same time that would be over the top fantastic.

I have looked into this & currently we do not have the ability to do this (Even a programmer).

If they make this available I would be willing to chip in with you and hire someone to get it done.

Hoping they add this to the list of planned updates. :crossed_fingers:t3:

I’d also love this.

Specifically, I’d like to set up an alert when price is above or below a moving average on the 5-min timeframe. And if I can set this up on multiple instruments (not just the contract I’m currently viewing), even better! :slight_smile:

Thanks for considering this!!

This would make every trader’s life easier when using Tradovate. I’m growing tired of staring at chart indicators when all I need is a notification from an indicator when it crosses a specific threshold.

Too bad there is no movement on this. A study based alert capability would be extremely useful, such as alerts based on moving average crossover

Yes Please! this is a feature that is so helpful, and it would be much appreciated. In Ninjatrader I have EMA crosses that trigger alerts which I use to trigger custom .wav files from my own folder. This is extremely useful because I can hear audio cues of what is going on throughout the day. I can’t wait for this feature to be added to Tradovates platform. Until then I will have to keep using the Ninjatrader 8 which I am honestly ready to leave behind.

Absolutely! this would be an awesome feature to add

Come on guys, make it already! At least make it possible to add it on horizontal lines.
The way to create alerts ATM is too time consuming, it should just be left click → set alert → alert dialogue with pre-filled numbers based on the line you clicked.

At the moment it’s easier for me to open tradingview, draw a line and add an alert on that, than it is to use the alert option in tradovate. It’s silly.

Would like to see option to create auto create alert for Volume Profiles POCLine for user define period e.g. 5d for 3-4 weeks, 20days, 90days , Initia Balance VAH, VAL for previous day.
Thank you

… Here’s a quicksheet instead: ** look at that link *** . NQ_F , ES_F still working on it to 4350 area. It’s month & quarter end! Mind your risk!!
–========================

Could these features be made available to platform

  1. have something like quotation board for user to setup watch list
  2. This watch list would auto populate few importable column like 5D VPOC, 20D vpoc , MVwap , ATR IB, weekly expansion range etc as in table so that user can see it in 1 glance and zoom in the related chart immediately
  3. Also include auto setup alert trigger for column like 5D VPOC, 20d VPOC option 1 , auto reset every day asoption2 instead of user need to go to each chart and to set the alert every day

Thank you in advance
