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)

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

3. Trigger: select "Once per bar"
4. Enter a name for the alert and your message
