Alerts separation by type

According to resource requirements, all alerts are divided into 2 types: Price and Technicals.
(detailed lists of alerts related to each category are given at the end of the article)

Each type has a separate limit on the number of active alerts, for example, with this limit:

Active price alerts100
Active technical alerts
100

you can run no more than 100 price alerts and no more than 100 technical ones (in this case, you can run 200 alerts in total).


The current number of active alerts of each type can be seen in the counters located at the top of the alert manager:

- number of Price alerts — next to the candle icon
- number of Technical alerts — next to the chart icon

The current limits for each plan can be seen on the GoPro page in the alerts section:
