Set Alerts By Using Custom Indicators as Conditions
Take the custom indicator VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) as an example. By using it as a condition, an alert will be sent to your phone as a system message when the condition is met, such as when VWAP is lower than the latest stock price. Here is how you can do it.
1. Set the Custom Indicator
Go to Watchlist, and click Indicator Management under the candlestick chart.
Select VWAP, and use My Language to edit the indicator formula. Click Test; if the indicator passes the test, click Application to apply it on the chart.

Losses can happen more quickly with quant and algorithmic trading compared to other forms of trading. Trading in financial markets carries inherent risks, making effective risk management a crucial aspect of quantitative trading systems. These risks encompass various factors that can disrupt the performance of such systems, including market volatility leading to losses. Moreover, quants face additional risks such as capital allocation, technology, and broker-related uncertainties. It's important to note that automated investment strategies do not guarantee profits or protect against losses. The responsiveness of the trading system or app may vary due to market conditions, system performance, and other factors. Account access, real-time data, and trade execution may be affected by factors such as market volatility.
