How to Create Your First Alert in CoinPriceAlert

By Gurjeet Singh, developer of CoinPriceAlert · Published 17 July 2026 · 3 min read

Pick the asset

Open the Alerts tab and search for the coin, stock, metal or currency pair you want to watch. Everything is searchable from one field.

Choose price or percent

Price alerts fire at a level you name. Percent alerts fire on a move of a given size — better when you do not have a specific number in mind.

Set the level with room to breathe

The app prefills the current price. Move it far enough that normal noise will not trigger it.

Choose one-time or repeating

One-time for planned levels; repeating for behavioural alerts you want to keep hearing about.

Turning this into something automatic

A process that requires vigilance is a process with a known expiry date. You will be asleep, in a meeting, on a flight, or simply not thinking about markets on the day it matters. That is not a discipline failure — it is the normal condition of having a life, and any system that ignores it is badly designed.

So convert every conclusion from this article into a condition that can be watched for you. A level you would act on becomes a price alert. A move size that would change your view becomes a percentage alert. A whole segment of the market you cannot follow coin by coin becomes one bulk rule that scans it and tells you when something unusual happens.

Set them, then close the app. The point of this workflow is not to make you watch more closely — it is to let you stop watching entirely and still be there when it counts. CoinPriceAlert sends push notifications for crypto, stocks, metals and forex, with quiet hours so nothing wakes you at 4am for a move you would not have traded anyway.

Never miss a move in the markets you follow

Set the level once and the check runs on our servers, so the alert reaches you with the app closed, on push, Telegram or email, and never at 3am unless you ask.

• Fires about a second after the price hits
• Runs on our servers, so it reaches you with the app closed
