# Alerts

TradingView alerts are created from TradingView's **alert menu**, not from MetaTrader.

## Script pages[​](#script-pages "Direct link to Script pages")

[The Banana Indicator TV — Legacy](https://www.tradingview.com/script/Jxv7Fma9-iTradeAIMS-The-Banana-Indicator-Legacy/)

Alerts fire on the same **B#** / **S#** markers you see on chart — configure them for **once per bar close** to match v3. See a live **S#** setup on the [Signals](/indicators/banana/docs/tradingview/chart-examples.md#s1-banana-sell-signal) page before wiring alerts.

Same flow for any TradingView script

The steps below use screenshots from **The Banana Indicator TV**. The TradingView UI is the same for other invite-only scripts — only the **Condition** dropdown name changes.

## Before You Create Alerts[​](#before-you-create-alerts "Direct link to Before You Create Alerts")

Confirm:

* You are signed in to the TradingView username that has access.
* The indicator is already added to the chart.
* The chart symbol and timeframe are the ones you intend to monitor.
* Your TradingView plan supports the number of active alerts you need.

## Create an alert (step by step)[​](#create-an-alert-step-by-step "Direct link to Create an alert (step by step)")

![Five-step workflow to create a Banana Indicator TradingView alert — open Alerts, new alert, condition, interval, and Create](/img/indicators/banana/alerts/banana-tv-alerts-workflow.png)

Summary workflow — screenshots below walk each step in the TradingView UI.

### Step 1 — Open the Alerts panel[​](#step-1--open-the-alerts-panel "Direct link to Step 1 — Open the Alerts panel")

With your chart open, click the **Alerts** (clock) icon on the right toolbar.

![TradingView chart with arrow pointing to the Alerts clock icon in the right toolbar](/img/indicators/banana/tradingview/tv-alerts-step-1-create-alert.png)

Step 1 — Open \*\*Alerts\*\* from the right toolbar (\*\*Alt + A\*\* also works).

### Step 2 — Start a new alert[​](#step-2--start-a-new-alert "Direct link to Step 2 — Start a new alert")

In the **Alerts** panel, click **+** (top left) or the **Create alert** button.

![TradingView Alerts panel empty state with Create alert button highlighted](/img/indicators/banana/tradingview/tv-alerts-step-2-alerts-panel.png)

Step 2 — \*\*+\*\* or \*\*Create alert\*\* opens the dialog.

### Step 3 — Open the Create alert dialog[​](#step-3--open-the-create-alert-dialog "Direct link to Step 3 — Open the Create alert dialog")

TradingView opens the **Create alert** dialog for the active chart symbol — set **Condition**, **Interval**, notifications, then **Create**.

![TradingView Create alert dialog with Condition, Trigger, Expiration, and Notifications fields](/img/indicators/banana/tradingview/tv-alerts-step-3-create-dialog.png)

Step 3 — Alert dialog (condition row is where you pick the script — next step).

### Step 3a — Pick the script condition (Pine `alert()`)[​](#step-3a--pick-the-script-condition-pine-alert "Direct link to step-3a--pick-the-script-condition-pine-alert")

For Pine scripts (including Banana TV), set **Condition** to your script name, then choose **Any alert() function call** — the script controls when alerts fire and what message is sent.

![TradingView help — select script in Condition and Any alert function call](/img/indicators/banana/tradingview/tv-alerts-step-3a-alert-function-condition.png)

Step 3a — \*\*Condition\*\* → script → \*\*Any alert() function call\*\* (TradingView help panel).

### Step 4 — Banana: interval, notifications, Create[​](#step-4--banana-interval-notifications-create "Direct link to Step 4 — Banana: interval, notifications, Create")

On **The Banana Indicator TV**:

1. **Condition** — **Banana** (or the script title on your chart) → **Any alert() function call** (or **Banana Buy** / **Banana Sell** if your build lists them).
2. **Interval** — **Same as chart** (matches the timeframe you are monitoring).
3. **Trigger / frequency** — **Once per bar close** when TradingView shows that option (matches v3 non-repainting markers).
4. **Notifications** — enable App, email, webhook, etc. per your plan.
5. Click **Create** and confirm the alert appears in the **Alerts** list.

![Create alert dialog with Banana script selected, Same as chart interval, and Create button](/img/indicators/banana/tradingview/tv-alerts-step-4-banana-create.png)

Step 4 — \*\*Banana\*\* condition, \*\*Same as chart\*\* interval, then \*\*Create\*\*.

Optional: enable **PineConnector messages** under **10 · Alerts / PineConnector** in [TradingView settings](/indicators/banana/docs/tradingview/settings.md) if you route alerts to automation (requires your PineConnector license ID and symbol).

Available alert conditions can depend on the TradingView script version and your account access.

## Check alert delivery[​](#check-alert-delivery "Direct link to Check alert delivery")

Check:

* The alert is **active** in the **Alerts** panel (not paused or expired).
* TradingView notifications are enabled for your chosen delivery method.
* You are signed in to the correct TradingView account.
* The alert was created on the chart **symbol** and **timeframe** you expect.

If nothing fires, see [Troubleshoot TradingView](/indicators/banana/docs/tradingview/troubleshooting.md).
