What are crypto price alerts?

Crypto price alerts are push notifications that let you know when a coin has a price movement that meets the selected threshold.

What are the frequency options?

The frequency options are either Less (default) or More alerts. The Less option means you’ll receive up to 3 alerts for each coin every 24 hours based on your price threshold. The More option means you could receive as many alerts as necessary for each coin every 24 hours based on your price threshold. However, for both frequency options, you won't ever receive more than one alert per hour for each coin.

Am I already opted in to get price alerts?

If you currently own cryptocurrency and have equity alerts turned on, your crypto price alerts are automatically turned on. The default settings are a 5% price threshold and your frequency is set to Less. However, you can adjust push notification settings any time to turn them off or customize them based on your preferences.

If you don’t have equity alerts turned on or only have crypto in your watchlist, you’ll have to enable them from your push notification settings.

If you only have crypto on your watchlists but purchase crypto later, you’ll automatically start receiving price alerts for the crypto you’ve purchased and hold.

What are the price threshold options?

What is the 52 Week High/Low Alert?
