A notification comes in the form of: sound, a notification opened on the monitor, a [telegram](https://help.ampfutures.com/trading-platforms/miscellaneous-panels/quantower-telegram-bot#how-to-get-notifications-from-telegram-bot) email sent instantly as soon as the price has approached a specific value.
