How to Set Up Price Alerts
Get notified when a cryptocurrency reaches your target price. Set custom alerts for any trading pair on Midas.
A price alert watches a level so you do not have to. Set them where a decision would change — an entry you want, a stop you would honour — rather than at round numbers, and keep the list short enough that an alert still means something when it arrives. The discipline that makes alerts useful is deleting them. A list of levels you set months ago and no longer act on trains you to ignore the notification that finally matters.
Before you start
- Notifications allowed on the device, otherwise the alert fires silently.
Navigate to Price Alerts
Go to Notifications > Price Alerts or navigate from any market detail page. The alerts screen shows your active alerts and lets you create new ones.
Create a Price Alert
Tap 'Create Alert'. Select the trading pair (e.g., BTC/USDT), choose the condition (price above or price below), and enter the target price. You can also create alerts based on percentage change within a time period.
Choose Notification Method
Select how you want to be notified: push notification, email, or both. Push notifications are delivered instantly while email serves as a backup. Ensure push notifications are enabled in your device settings for Midas.
Manage Your Alerts
View all active alerts in the Price Alerts list. Toggle alerts on or off without deleting them. Delete alerts you no longer need. Triggered alerts are automatically moved to a history section so you can review past notifications.
If something goes wrong
- The alert triggered but no notification arrived.
- Push permission is off at the system level, or the delivery method on the alert is set to something you do not read. Both are one screen away.
- Alerts fire repeatedly around one level.
- Price is oscillating across your threshold. Use a one-shot alert, or move the level away from the current chop.
- You set an alert and cannot find it again.
- Alerts are listed per asset as well as in the central list. Check the central list, which shows every active alert with its level and delivery method.
- An alert fired for a price you never saw on the chart.
- Alerts watch traded price including wicks, while a candle chart shows the range as a single bar. The trade happened even if the candle hides it.
Frequently asked questions
- How many alerts can I set?
- Enough for ordinary use. The practical limit is your attention, not the system's.
- Can alerts reach me by email?
- Yes — each alert can use push, email, or both.
- Do alerts work when the app is closed?
- Push alerts do. They are delivered by the platform's notification service rather than by the app running.
- Can I set an alert on percentage change rather than price?
- Where the alert screen offers it, yes. Percentage alerts suit volatile assets where a fixed level ages quickly.
- Do alerts cost anything?
- No. They are free, which is the argument for setting them at the levels where you would actually act.
- Can I set an alert on a pair I do not hold?
- Yes. Alerts are independent of holdings, which is what makes them useful for planning an entry.
