How to Set Up Price Alerts on the Bybit App

Accessing the Price Alert Feature

1. Open the Bybit app on your mobile device and log in to your account using your credentials.

2. Navigate to the home screen where all available trading pairs are displayed in the market list.
3. Tap on the search bar at the top and enter the cryptocurrency you want to monitor, such as BTC/USDT.
4. Once the trading pair appears, select it to open its detailed price chart and trading information.
5. Look for the bell icon or “Price Alert” option usually located near the price display or within the menu options.

Creating a Custom Price Alert

1. After selecting the desired trading pair, tap on the “Set Price Alert” button to begin configuration.

2. Enter the specific price level at which you want to receive a notification; this can be above or below the current market value.
3. Choose whether you want the alert to trigger when the price rises to your target or drops to it.
4. Confirm your selection by tapping “Confirm” or “Create,” depending on the app interface version.
5. The system will now monitor the market and send a push notification once the set threshold is reached.

Managing Active Alerts

1. Return to the main menu and access the “Price Alerts” section, typically found under your profile or notifications tab.

2. Review the list of currently active alerts, including the asset, direction, and price point.
3. To modify an existing alert, tap on the entry and adjust the price or conditions as needed.
4. If you no longer need a particular alert, swipe left or use the delete option to remove it from the list.
5. Ensure that your app permissions allow for notifications so you don’t miss any critical updates.

Understanding Alert Triggers and Accuracy

1. Price alerts are based on the last traded price from Bybit’s matching engine, ensuring high accuracy.

2. Alerts may trigger slightly differently depending on whether you're monitoring spot, futures, or perpetual contracts.
3. Network delays or app background restrictions could affect the timeliness of notifications.
4. Multiple alerts can be set for the same asset to track different entry or exit points.
5. Ensure your internet connection is stable to avoid missing time-sensitive market movements.
