You’ve long been able to draw rectangles on your chart to mark zones of interest — support, resistance, consolidation areas. Now you can turn those zones into alerts: you’ll get notified the moment price interacts with them. It’s a simple way to make your visual analysis work for you: draw a zone once, and let the system track when the market reacts to it.
Now, when you create a rectangle drawing on your chart, you can enable an alert condition tied to it. For example:
- Price enters the rectangle zone (e.g., consolidation broke)
- Price exits the rectangle (e.g., breakout or breakdown occurred)
- Price is inside or outside the rectangle’s boundaries
This gives you a powerful visual-and-alert combo: draw your zone, attach an alert, and wait for the market move you defined.
Setting an alert is pretty straightforward.
- Draw a rectangle using the drawing toolbar on the left.
- In the rectangle’s context menu choose Add alert on drawing.
- Select the trigger — e.g., entering or exiting a zone.
- Set your trigger, expiration and notification preferences
- Click Create. From now on, the alert will monitor the rectangle you defined.
