Crypto alerts, free.

What you get

• Price alerts on a level, crossing in either direction
• Indicator alerts on any of the ninety-three studies, not only on price
• Multi-condition alerts, so several things must be true before it fires
• Alerts on your own formula output, where the built-in studies do not cover the idea
• No cap on how many you keep, and no tier that raises one

Why this is usually paid for

Alerts are the classic metered feature. They are cheap to evaluate but easy to count, which makes them the natural unit for a pricing tier — five on the free plan, more if you pay. The limit exists because it is billable, not because the tenth alert costs anything to run.

Basis evaluates alerts in your browser against data the chart already holds, so there is nothing to meter. Signing in adds delivery when the tab is closed; it does not unlock the feature.

How to use it

1. 1

   Set an alert on a level

   Open the alerts panel from the icon rail, pick the instrument and the price, and choose whether it should fire on a cross up, a cross down or either. It watches from the moment you save it.

2. 2

   Alert on an indicator instead of a price

   A level alert only knows about price. An indicator alert can fire when a moving average crosses, when a study leaves a range, or when a value you defined in a formula becomes true — which is usually closer to what you actually wanted to watch.

3. 3

   Combine conditions so it fires less often

   A single condition on a volatile market fires constantly and stops being useful. Requiring two or three things at once — a level break with an indicator confirming — cuts the noise dramatically and is the reason multi-condition alerts exist.
