How to set price alerts on the Binance mobile app?

Accessing the Price Alert Feature

1. Open the Binance mobile app and ensure you are logged into your verified account.

2. Navigate to the Markets tab located at the bottom navigation bar.
3. Tap on the search icon in the top-right corner and enter the trading pair you wish to monitor, such as BTC/USDT.
4. Select the desired asset from the search results to open its real-time price chart and order book.

Creating a New Price Alert

1. On the asset’s main page, locate and tap the bell-shaped Alert icon positioned beside the current price display.

2. Tap the + Add Alert button at the bottom of the alert list screen.
3. Choose between Price, Change %, or Volume alert types — most users select Price for direct threshold notifications.
4. Input the target price value manually or use the slider to adjust it relative to the current market price.
5. Toggle on sound, vibration, and push notification preferences before confirming with the Save button.

Managing Active Alerts

1. Return to the asset’s detail page and tap the bell icon again to view all configured alerts.

2. Each alert displays its condition, status (active or triggered), and timestamp of last update.
3. Swipe left on any alert entry to reveal Edit and Delete options.
4. Tap Edit to modify the trigger value, notification settings, or alert type without deleting and recreating it.
5. Alerts remain active across app restarts and background operation as long as device notifications are enabled for Binance.

Understanding Alert Triggers and Limitations

1. Price alerts activate only when the last traded price matches or crosses the defined threshold — bid/ask levels do not trigger them.

2. Alerts function independently of whether the app is open, minimized, or running in the background, provided system-level permissions are granted.
3. The Binance mobile app supports up to 20 active price alerts per account across all assets.
4. Alerts tied to futures or margin markets require the corresponding trading account to be activated and accessible within the app interface.
5. No email or SMS fallback exists — all notifications are delivered exclusively via device push.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do price alerts work during server maintenance or exchange downtime?A: No. Alerts rely on live market data feeds. During scheduled or unscheduled Binance infrastructure outages, no price updates are processed and alerts will not fire until connectivity resumes.

Q: Can I set an alert for a specific candlestick close, like a 15-minute candle closing above $65,000?A: No. The Binance mobile app does not support technical pattern-based or time-series-close alerts. Only real-time last-price, percentage change, and volume thresholds are available.

Q: Why did my alert not trigger even though the chart shows the price crossed my level?A: This commonly occurs due to latency between the chart rendering engine and the actual trade-matching engine. The chart may display interpolated or delayed ticks; alerts respond strictly to confirmed match-engine prices.

Q: Is there a way to export or back up my current list of alerts?A: No native export functionality exists. Alerts are stored server-side and bound to your account, but they cannot be downloaded, shared, or imported externally through the mobile interface.
