Setting Indicator alerts


Recommended Posts

When trading FX I want to set an alert than informs me whenever the 5 day EMA crosses the 10 day MA. But I seem to only be able to set alerts for EMA crossing EMA or MA crossing MA.

Can anyone give me information as to how I can rectify this or is it something IG is unable to provide with their indicators?

Hi @CostaCarta

To create a new price or indicator alert, open a deal ticket for the market you’d like to trade and click on the ‘alert’ tab (1), which you’ll find at the top of the ticket next to the ‘deal’ and ‘order’ tabs.

Under the ‘alert’ tab, choose which type of alert (price change, price level, or indicator alert) you want to create (2). Enter the required information (3) and then click on the ‘set alert’ button (4) to complete the process (you may need to scroll down to find it).

Setting price and indicators alerts

You can track and manage your alerts from the ‘alerts’ section in the left-hand navigation menu (1) or from the ‘alerts’ window in your workspace.

Price change and indicator alerts remain active until you delete them. Price level alerts, on the other hand, remain active only until they’re triggered, after which they cannot be modified or reactivated.

    • Market Breakdown | WTI Oil, EURUSD, GBPNZD, EURAUDHere are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watchlist.1️⃣ WTI Oil daily time frame️The market is trading in a long term bearish trend .After the last sharp bearish movement, the market is steadily recovering.Ahead, I see a major horizontal supply area.Probabilities are high, that the next bearish wave will initiate from there.2️⃣ EURUSD daily time frameAfter a breakout of a solid daily resistance, the market is preparing for its retest.Watch carefully the underlined zone and look for buying opportunities from there.3️⃣ EURAUD weekly time frameThe pair is currently approaching a weekly horizontal resistance cluster.Taking into consideration, that the pair is quite overbought, probabilities will be high to see a pullback from that4️⃣ GBPNZD daily time frameThe pair is currently retesting a broken neckline of an ascending triangle . As we discussed earlier, the trend line of a triangle and its neckline compose a contracting buy zone now.Chances will be high that the next bullish wave will initiate quite soon.For Additional confirmation use: Divergence Indicators
    • #CHFJPY: Classic Bearish Setup 🇨🇭🇯🇵   🔻CHFJPY has nicely respected a confluence zone based on a horizontal 4H resistance and a 0.5 retracement of the last bearish impulse.   The price formed a double top pattern on that and broke its neckline.   Probabilities will be high that the pair will drop lower soon. Goals: 141.172 / 140.363
