Trade Desk › Trade alerts by email and push

Stop watching the screen. Get told when the level hits.

Every setup on the Trade Desk has an Entry, Target and Stop alert. Turn them on once and you get an email and a push to your phone the moment price gets there, with the levels in the message, so you can act in seconds.

The problem: the best entries happen when you are not looking

Swing trading is supposed to fit around a life. In practice most traders end up refreshing charts at work, at dinner and at 3am, because a pullback entry only lasts minutes and missing it means chasing the trade or skipping it.

Signal groups make it worse. The alert lands in a busy chat, after the move, with no stop, and you are left working out the risk yourself.

How Desk alerts work

  1. Tap the bell on any setup. One tap arms the entry, the target and the stop together. You can untick any of them.
  2. The engine watches the level for you, every few minutes, around the clock for forex and crypto and through the session for stocks.
  3. The alert arrives by email and push, with the market, the fill, the stop, the target and why it triggered.
  4. Once you are in, the exits follow you. You hear when the target hits, when the stop hits, and when I move a stop or close a trade by hand.

The alerts that keep you out of trouble

News on your trades. If a high-impact release or a rate decision is due on a currency you are trading, you hear about it before it lands, with what it usually does to spreads.

A brief before your market opens. One short message an hour before your home session, only on trading days: the mood, the strongest and weakest currencies, and the next big release.

Price alerts on anything. Set your own above or below alerts on any market, from the chart or the ticker page.

Get the setups, the chart, the alerts and the record

Every Sunday: swing setups across stocks, forex and crypto with the entry, stop and target decided before the open, drawn on the chart, with alerts the moment a level hits.

FAQ

Do I need to keep the app open?

No. Alerts are sent by email and as a push notification to your phone or desktop, whether the Desk is open or not.

Will I get spammed?

No. You only get alerts for the setups you follow, and the market alerts only go out on trading days and at sensible times.

Can I follow the stop and target without the entry?

Yes. Each setup has three separate bells, Entry, Target and Stop, and you can keep any mix of them on.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes. Add the Desk to your home screen and allow notifications, and pushes arrive like any other app.
