About Alerts

Alerts Page

This is a general list of all your alerts. An alert is a signal that is instantly delivered to your device in the form of a push notification when the set-up price (for filled orders or the price of interest) is reached.

On the Alerts page, you can sort, pause, edit and delete alerts. Note, when placing your first alert you’ll be requested to allow notifications in your browser.

Currently, you receive alerts as a browser pop-up. With a pop-up at the top of the page, TabTrader will get your attention when an alert is triggered. In addition, all alerts are synchronized with your profile across all of your devices. This means you will receive the same notifications on your mobile device as well.

Alerts are available only if enabled in the browser settings. Make sure you allow notifications for the TabTrader website.

Fill in the alert window with its parameters:

• Select a currency pair (or any other kind of market) and exchange.

• Add a description for your alert (optionally).
• Set up persistence of your alert if needed (a reminder of the set price to be triggered at repeatedly).
• Pick a color for your alert (optionally).
• Click “Save”
