After customizing and saving your settings, you will be able to configure your alerts in 2 different ways. We strongly recommend the first way (A) because it is more complete and efficient, quick to set up and only requires an alert location for 6 different orders.

### First option&#x20;

Configure a single alert that will trigger the 6 types of orders (ENTRY LONG, ENTRY SHORT, EXIT LONG, EXIT SHORT, EDIT SL LONG, EDIT SL SHORT)

<figure><img src="/files/PQqg1gm2AO47EYIwnds8" alt="" width="299"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Click on "Alert" or make the shortcuts ALT + A
2. Condition: Select the name of the indicator
3. In the field following the name of the flag, select "Any call to alert()
4. Enter a name for the alert

### Second option:

Configure 1 different alert per order type. 'Edit-Stop-Loss' orders are not available in this way.

Click on "Alert" or make the shortcuts ALT + A

1. Condition: Select the name of the indicator
2. In the field following the name of the flag, select the condition corresponding to the type of order you want to assign to this alert. The 4 possible choices are: "\[✅|🔺] ENTRY LONG", " \[✅|🔻] ENTRY SHORT", "\[❌|🔺] EXIT LONG" ou "\[❌|🔻] EXIT SHORT".
3. Trigger: select "Once per bar"
4. Enter a name for the alert and your message
5. Repeat the operation 4 times to create 4 alerts corresponding to the 4 types of orders.
