Why Use Price Alerts?

Price alerts help you: 🔔 Avoid missing key market movements – Get notified when Bitcoin, Ethereum, or altcoins hit your target price. 📈 Make informed buy/sell decisions – Act when the market reaches your desired entry or exit points. ⏳ Save time – No need to monitor charts manually.

How to Set Up Price Alerts in Ledger Live

Ledger Live allows you to set custom price alerts for any supported cryptocurrency.

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Open Ledger Live and go to the “Market” tab.
  2. Search for the cryptocurrency you want to track (e.g., Bitcoin, Solana).
  3. Click the bell icon (🔔) next to the price chart.
  4. Choose your alert type:
    • Price rises above (for sell targets)
    • Price falls below (for buy opportunities)
  5. Enter your desired price threshold (e.g., “$50,000 for BTC”).
  6. Confirm the alert—you’ll receive a push notification when triggered.

⚠ Note:

  • Alerts only work if Ledger Live is running in the background.
  • Mobile app notifications must be enabled in your device settings.

Managing Your Alerts

  • To edit or delete an alert, go back to the asset’s page and adjust the bell icon settings.
  • Alerts are device-specific—if you use Ledger Live on multiple devices, set them up separately.

Alternative Platforms for Price Alerts

If you need more advanced alert options, consider these alternatives:

1. CoinGecko / CoinMarketCap

  • Offers email, mobile, and browser notifications.
  • Supports percentage-based alerts (e.g., “Notify me if BTC drops 10%”).
  • Tracks thousands of cryptocurrencies.

How to Set Up:

  1. Go to the coin’s page on CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap.
  2. Click the “Set Alert” button.
  3. Choose your trigger price and notification method.

2. TradingView

  • Best for technical traders (supports RSI, moving averages, etc.).
  • Allows multiple alert conditions (e.g., volume spikes, trend breaks).

How to Set Up:

  1. Open a chart for your desired asset.
  2. Right-click and select “Add Alert.”
  3. Customize conditions (price, indicators, etc.).

3. Exchange Apps (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase)

  • Some exchanges offer built-in price alerts.
  • Useful if you trade frequently on a specific platform.

Best Practices for Price Alerts

✅ Set realistic thresholds – Avoid overly sensitive alerts that trigger too often. ✅ Use multiple platforms – Combine Ledger Live with TradingView for better coverage. ✅ Review alerts periodically – Adjust them based on market conditions. ✅ Enable backup notifications – Use email + app alerts in case one fails.
