Price alert screener: a signal the minute price reaches your level
Other screeners hunt across the whole market — a percentage over an interval, a turnover spike, an open-interest shift. The price alert screener works the other way round: you name the coin and the number in USDT, and it notifies you the minute price goes through it. No percentages, no intervals, no thresholds — just your mark and the side price approached it from.
How the price alert screener works
The screener checks your marks against price on every exchange you enabled in account settings — futures and spot alike. A hit is recorded on the crossing itself: a minute ago price sat on one side of your number, now it sits on the other side or exactly on it. There is no tolerance band — the boundary runs through the figure you typed. The notification arrives as push or Telegram and carries:
- The coin and every mark of its own crossed in that minute
- The direction of each crossing: upward or downward
- The price on each venue where the crossing happened
- The 24-hour price range plus links to the exchange and the chart
Which marks to set and how to pick a direction
A mark is worth exactly as much as the reason you set it for. Here are the four reasons that work most often.
Round numbers
- Price lingers around round values more often: that is where other people’s orders and stops sit.
- Two marks — the nearest round level above and below the current price — are the cheapest way to learn that a coin has left its usual corridor.
- The ready-made strategies in the dashboard compute those levels from the current price at the moment you apply them: nothing is baked in, and every figure stays editable.
The edges of your setup
- The price where the idea stops working deserves a mark more than the target does: knowing the plan broke matters first.
- A second mark on the target tells you it is time to take profit even when you are away from the terminal.
- «Downward» on the lower edge and «upward» on the upper one cut half the redundant messages.
Entry price and the zone where you add
- A mark slightly ahead of the zone where you plan to add leaves time to place the order: the message goes out on the crossing, not before it.
- Turn the repeat on when price walks back and forth along the edge and you want every visit.
- Several marks on one coin stack into a ladder — add, target, stop. You can keep up to 50 of them.
How to configure the screener
- Add a mark: the base ticker (BTC, not BTCUSDT), the price in USDT, and the approach side.
- Pick the repeat mode and the cap on notifications per coin per period.
- Connect a channel — push or Telegram — and switch the screener on.
Who the price alert screener is for
- Swing traders — keep entry and exit levels in the screener instead of in their head or a notes app.
- Scalpers — put marks on the range edges and hear about every visit.
- Investors — wait weeks for their number without opening the terminal daily.
- Traders already in a position — get a message at the stop or the target and decide whether to step in.
The price alert screener does not find the idea for you and does not grade it. It does one thing: it keeps you from missing the price you called important yourself — while you sleep, work, or run another trade.
Important: reaching a mark is a fact, not a forecast. What to do at that price is decided by your plan, not by the notification.
