AlertaChart is a multi-asset charting platform built for traders who want one screen for crypto, equities, and forex with serious technical-analysis tooling underneath. This guide walks you through the first hour: creating an account, opening your first chart, adding pairs to your unified watchlist, and setting your first price alert.
AlertaChart's watchlist is a single list that mixes every asset class you trade, with badges and suffixes telling you what each row is. This is a recent overhaul — older versions kept three separate lists (spot / futures / stock), but a single unified list is faster to scan, easier to share, and removes the constant "I'm in the wrong tab" friction.
Binance has both a spot market for BTC/USDT and a perpetual futures market for the same pair. They have different prices, different liquidity, and different orderflow. AlertaChart needs to distinguish them in the watchlist without making you toggle a global "spot vs futures" switch — the convention we use is the .P suffix on the quote asset.
Every chart in AlertaChart uses the same vocabulary: candles, wicks, volume bars, and a time axis. This article walks through what each element means, when to switch timeframes, and how to read volume in context — written for the trader who's about to make their first technical-analysis decision on the platform.
AlertaChart's alert system is the feature most users tell us they upgrade for. The basics are simple — click a price level, pick a direction, wait for the bell. The details are what make it reliable: where the alert fires from, which exchange it's bound to, what happens when your app is closed, and what limits apply on each plan.
Most traders graduate from candle-only analysis to orderflow because the candle tells you what price did — orderflow tells you what the market did to get there. AlertaChart's Orderflow Toolbox is a Pro-tier stack of sub-panes and overlays that you can compose under the main chart to read the institutional flow underneath each candle.
AlertaScript is AlertaChart's custom indicator language. It lets you write your own technical indicators, custom overlays, and full backtestable strategies — all rendered against the same live chart you use every day.
AlertaChart has a free tier and four paid ones. This article says exactly what each includes, so you can pick the smallest plan that covers what you actually do.
Drawings, alerts and chart preferences are saved according to the feature and device. Cross-device cloud synchronization of watchlists and drawings starts with Trader and requires the same signed-in AlertaChart account. Local-only data is not guaranteed to return after browser storage is cleared or the app is removed.
AlertaChart covers more than crypto. The chart serves 4 equity regions, 46 forex pairs, and 2 index perpetuals.
Markets move on news. AlertaChart embeds the same professional news feed institutional desks rely on — Financial Juice — directly into the platform, and pairs it with the Discover tab and listing notifications so you don't miss anything that moves price.
Most AlertaChart issues fall into a handful of categories: stale data, missing notifications, lost drawings, or sign-in glitches.
AlertaChart is a tool — what makes it valuable is the workflow you wrap around it. This article shares the most useful patterns we've seen experienced traders adopt, plus a handful of concrete tips that compound over time.
