Automatic notifications and price alerts
What Fastbot messages you about on its own, and how to build price-level alerts using DCA take-profit or TradingView alerts.
You do not need to keep the bot open. Fastbot messages you when something worth knowing happens — and you can build price-level alerts two ways with what is already there.
When Fastbot messages you
| What happened | What the message says |
|---|---|
| A take-profit or stop-loss fills | Symbol, side, fill price, quantity |
| A position closes completely | Why it closed (all TPs hit, SL hit…) |
| SL moves to breakeven | The new SL level |
| A DCA buy completes | Quantity, price, and how the plan stands after it |
| A DCA plan takes profit | Quantity sold, proceeds, actual gain |
| A buy does not go through | A clear reason: not enough balance, outside hours, exchange refused |
| A Vietnamese stock order fills or is cancelled | The real quantity and price once the exchange answers |
| The bot is paused or resumed | The new state |
FastbotNotificationsWhen a take-profit fills, Fastbot cancels the leftover stop-loss for you, and the other way round — you are never left with an orphan order on the exchange.
Price-level alerts: which approach to use
Fastbot has no plain price-alert feature of the "tell me when BTC hits 70,000" kind. Instead there are two ways to get the same outcome, and both act rather than just notify:
Option 1 — A DCA plan's take-profit %
Right when you already hold the asset and want to exit at a certain gain. Set +15% and Fastbot checks every hour, sells when it is reached, and messages you. See Automatic DCA take-profit.
Option 2 — A TradingView alert pointed at Fastbot
Right when you want a more complex condition (a moving-average cross, a breakout, any indicator). Create the alert on TradingView as usual and point its webhook at Fastbot. When the condition triggers, Fastbot places the order and messages you the result. See Connect TradingView via webhook.
Making alerts actually useful
- Put them at levels that mean something — support, resistance, a profit target — not every small move.
- Tie each alert to a decision you made in advance: if it triggers, here is what I do.
- Do not set too many. A flood of notifications is as distracting as watching charts all day.
The daily summary
Beyond event messages, Fastbot sends a summary of your holdings each day at a time you choose. Change it under 🏦 DCA → 🕐 Daily report time. See Track your portfolio and reports.
If several people share one bot
Everyone receives the trade notifications. Only the language and the daily report time are set per person.
