How to Setup Price Alerts
{% endembed %}

**Alert** on the financial market is a standard signal that notifies you when the price reaches a certain level on the chart, pre-set in the settings. A notification comes in the form of: sound, a notification opened on the monitor, a [telegram](/trading-platforms/quantower/miscellaneous-panels/quantower-telegram-bot.md#how-to-get-notifications-from-telegram-bot) email sent instantly as soon as the price has approached a specific value.
