How to set price alerts on MEXC? (Market Notifications)

Accessing the Price Alert Interface

1. Navigate to the trading pair page for the cryptocurrency you wish to monitor. This can be done by searching for the token symbol—such as BTCUSDT or ETHUSDT—in the search bar located on the MEXC homepage or within the mobile app.

2. Once on the trading interface, locate and tap the Alert button positioned directly beneath the price chart. This action opens the dedicated price alert management screen.

3. The system defaults to the currently viewed trading pair, but users may switch contracts using the dropdown arrow next to the pair name. Search functionality supports both futures indices and options in addition to standard spot pairs.

Configuring Alert Conditions

1. After selecting the desired trading instrument, press the Add Alert button at the bottom of the screen to initiate rule creation.

2. Choose from multiple trigger conditions: absolute price level (e.g., “when BTCUSDT reaches $72,500”), percentage-based movement (e.g., “when price rises 3% in 24 hours”), or technical thresholds like “price drops 5% from daily high”.

3. Define frequency preferences: one-time notification, daily recurrence, or continuous alerts issued every five minutes while the condition remains active. Each option serves distinct tactical needs—from precise entry timing to volatility tracking during major news events.

Notification Delivery Settings

1. Ensure device-level notifications are enabled for the MEXC application. On iOS, this requires visiting Settings > Notifications > MEXC and toggling Allow Notifications. Android users must grant permission under App Settings > Notifications.

2. Within the MEXC app, go to Settings > Market Settings > Alert Settings to configure sound, vibration, or combined feedback modes. Users may select between single-tone alerts or persistent vibration until acknowledged.

3. Alerts appear as system-level banners when the app is backgrounded. When active, they display inside the app’s notification center, accessible via the envelope icon in the top-right corner of the alert management screen.

Managing Active Alerts

1. From the main alert dashboard, tap any listed monitoring item to pause, edit parameters, or delete the rule entirely. Modifications take effect immediately without requiring re-authentication.

2. Click the All Alerts button in the upper-right corner to view aggregated statistics—including total count across all instruments—and quickly navigate between categories such as “Monitoring”, “Triggered”, or “Paused”.

3. Triggered alerts remain visible in chronological order under the envelope icon. Each entry displays timestamp, triggered value, and original condition, enabling post-event analysis without external logging tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I set alerts for more than one trading pair simultaneously?Yes. MEXC allows up to 500 active price alerts across all supported instruments. Users may distribute these across spot, perpetual futures, and index products without restriction.

Q: Do price alerts function during server maintenance windows?No. Alerts depend on real-time market data feeds. During scheduled or unscheduled maintenance periods, no triggers will activate regardless of configured conditions.

Q: Is there a delay between price execution and alert delivery?Typical latency ranges from 800ms to 1.4 seconds under normal network conditions. This includes data propagation, internal processing, and push notification dispatch across global CDNs.

Q: Can I export my alert history for record-keeping?Export functionality is not available. All triggered alerts reside exclusively within the MEXC notification center and cannot be downloaded or shared externally through the platform interface.
