# Liquidity Box Alerts

Alerts on **AIMS Liquidity Box** fire at **SETUP READY** — the same moment the dashboard shows **Ready - Setup 1** or **Ready - Setup 2**. That is the cue to place a pending **Buy Stop** or **Sell Stop** if the setup fits your plan.

Alerts are prompts

An alert is not an automatic order. Confirm the chart and your risk rules before you act.

## Built-in alert conditions[​](#built-in-alert-conditions "Direct link to Built-in alert conditions")

When you create an alert on the indicator, TradingView can list:

| Condition name                     | Plain meaning                                           |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **AIMS Liq Box Setup Ready Long**  | Bullish setup — consider a **Buy Stop** at the box high |
| **AIMS Liq Box Setup Ready Short** | Bearish setup — consider a **Sell Stop** at the box low |

Confluent setups may include an **`[S&R]`** tag in the plain-text alert body when confluence is on.

## Create an alert (beginner path)[​](#create-an-alert-beginner-path "Direct link to Create an alert (beginner path)")

1. Add **AIMS Liquidity Box** to the chart and confirm it reads correctly ([quick start](/indicators/aims-box/docs/tradingview/liquidity-box-quick-start.md)).
2. Right-click the chart (or use the **Alert** button) → create an alert.
3. Condition: select **AIMS Liquidity Box** (or **AIMS Liq Box**) and the Long or Short ready condition.
4. Choose how you want to be notified (popup, app, email — whatever you use on TradingView).
5. Save the alert.

Create **separate** alerts for long and short if you want different notifications.

## Inputs that affect alerts[​](#inputs-that-affect-alerts "Direct link to Inputs that affect alerts")

Under **8 · Alerts / PineConnector**:

| Input                         | What to know                                                                                                                          |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Enable alerts**             | Must be **on** for alert messages from the script.                                                                                    |
| **PineConnector messages**    | Leave **off** for normal readable text. Turn **on** only if you already use PineConnector and know your License ID / Symbol / Risk %. |
| **Only arm setups near S\&R** | If this is **on**, you only get Ready (and alerts) when confluence passes.                                                            |
