# Alerts

| Price                  | Close              | -               | -                            | Up / Down / Any |
| `<Velo> Volume`        | Total / Buy / Sell | Dollars / Coins | 1m / 5m / 15m / 1h / 4h / 1d | Up              |
| `<Velo> Liquidations`  | Total / Buy / Sell | Dollars / Coins | 1m / 5m / 15m / 1h / 4h / 1d | Up              |

### Notifications

It is possible to get an alert notification through two different channels, either through the Velo web app or through Telegram. You can choose the notification channel when creating an alert.

#### Web notification

A web notification looks as follows and will trigger a sound effect as well. Upon clicking on the notification, you will be navigated to the symbol and timeframe.

#### Telegram notification

To enable Telegram notifications, you will need to connect your Velo account to the `Velo Alerts` bot.

After adding the bot through the deep link or the QR code, you should see the message:

```
Successfully linked chat to: <your Velo email>
```

Alerts that are created with the Telegram option will now send a notification on Telegram app instead of the web app, when triggered.

### Tips for managing alerts

#### Create alerts with plus-menu

For a quicker way to create alerts, you can use TradingView's native plus-menu.
