## Step-by-Step: How to create alerts

Here you can see how to create an alert for all Entry and Exit Signals. Once you've created an alert, you will be notified via the notification methods you selected (read more below)

> **Before you start:** In LuxSignals' **Alerts** settings, choose your alert mode:
>
> * **Automatic Trading** — [see the “Automatic Trading” guide](/luxsignals/focus/automatic-trading.md)
> * **Manual Trading** — simply follow the steps below

### Create the Alert

1. Open TradingView and click the **Alerts** icon in the **right** sidebar (top of the bar).
2. Click the **＋** button to create a new alert.
3. Under **Condition** in the Settings tab:
   * Click the first dropdown (it may say **Price** by default) and select **your strategy**
4. In the **Message tab**:
   * Give your alert any **name** you like.
   * In the **Message field** you type in this: (copy from below)

```
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}
```

It will then automatically replace it with the actual alert message when the alert triggers.

5. Open the **Notifications** tab and choose how you want to be notified.
6. Click **Create**.
7. You will now be instantly notified about all new **Entry and Exit Signals** and their **exact Trade Size.** 

## Logs

Alert activity and logs appear in the **Alerts** window in TradingView.

## Important Notes

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are creating alerts for automatic trading, select "Webhook URL" in the notification settings of your alert and then paste your personal link from your [LuxSignals account](https://luxsignals.com/account)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you create an alert and later change the settings of LuxSignals, the alerts won't update (that's how TradingView is). So if you change LuxSignals' settings, create a new alert. 

If you change the timeframe or change the chart, you also need to create a new alert.
{% endhint %}
