A notification or signal about a trading event or market condition. In forex trading, alerts inform traders of potential opportunities or issues. Alerts may be generated by algorithms or analysts to indicate entry/exit signals (e.g. price crossing a threshold). In automated systems, alerts include trade triggers (market conditions that execute orders), risk warnings (e.g. margin call reached), or execution failures. Alerts can appear as terminal pop-ups, sounds, or messages sent via email/SMS/push, helping both beginner and advanced users stay informed.
