# Alerts (beta)

Visual trading by creating alerts on a chart.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Alerts are in beta and not officially supported yet.

If you want to try using alerts, make sure to keep the chart open at all times because for now there is no background service running the alerts.
{% endhint %}
