Volatility Alert: Catch Sudden Price Moves
Triggers when a symbol moves beyond a percentage threshold within a given candlestick period.
1
Select a timeframe
Available timeframes: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h. Shorter timeframes catch faster moves; longer ones filter out noise.
2
Set the threshold percentage
Enter the minimum move percentage to trigger an alert. Example: BTC 15m ±2% — triggers if BTC moves 2% or more within a 15-minute candle.
3
Recommended use cases
Sudden pump or dump alerts. Breaking news reactions. High-volatility asset monitoring (e.g. meme coins, small caps).
4
Pair with cooldown
Volatility can trigger repeatedly in choppy markets. Set a cooldown of at least 15–30 minutes to avoid alert spam.
