Drawing Alerts

Drawing Alerts

Create alerts from chart drawings - trendlines, rectangles, channels, and more.

Overview

Unlike basic price alerts, Drawing Alerts trigger when price interacts with your visual analysis:

• Trendlines: Alert on touch, break, or retest
• Rectangles: Alert when price enters/exits zones
• Channels: Alert on channel boundaries
• Fibonacci: Alert at key levels (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%)

Features

Supported Drawings

• Trendlines: Diagonal support/resistance
• Horizontal Lines: Key levels
• Rectangles: Supply/demand zones
• Parallel Channels: Trend channels
• Fibonacci Retracement: Key pullback levels
• Fibonacci Extension: Target levels
• Pitchfork: Andrews' Pitchfork median lines
• Custom Shapes: Any user-drawn area

Alert Conditions

• Touch: Price touches the drawing
• Break: Price closes beyond the drawing
• Retest: Price returns to touch after breaking
• Enter Zone: Price enters a rectangle/area
• Exit Zone: Price leaves a rectangle/area
• Approach: Price within X% of drawing
