Strategy Builder Alerts fix this by sending you notifications the moment a condition you set is triggered. You can receive alerts via **Email, Telegram, or Web** for individual strategies or groups of strategies. This guide covers everything you need to set them up and manage them. ## What You Can Set Alerts For - MTM (Mark-to-Market) targets or thresholds - Delta changes - Other key strategy events you configure ## Setting Up Alerts on a New Strategy You can add alerts while creating a strategy. Alerts work for both forward testing and live algo trading. 1. Log in to your AlgoTest account. 2. Go to **ClickTrade →** [**Strategy Builder**.](https://algotest.in/strategy-builder) ![](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_cmbhlz3q0002sxzc513a62pj5/images/image-cp-1778330042155-compressed.png) 3\. Create your own strategy or choose a prebuilt template. (New to the platform?

Click on **Add Alert**. ![](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_cmbhlz3q0002sxzc513a62pj5/images/image-cp-1778330046318-compressed.png) 6\. Select the parameters you want alerts for. 7\.

Open the **Strategy Builder dashboard** and select a strategy from the top-left. This is useful when conditions change. For example, if you run a [delta neutral strategy](https://algotest.in/blog/delta-neutral-strategies-with-algotest/), you can tighten the Delta threshold alert closer to expiry without rebuilding the strategy. ![](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_cmbhlz3q0002sxzc513a62pj5/images/image-cp-1778330047970-compressed.png) 2.

The alert you are applying will not apply to the strategy individually. - For example, if you set an MTM target alert of 500rs, it will only trigger when the profit of all strategies selected in the group goes to 5000rs This is especially useful when you run [multi-leg options strategies](https://algotest.in/blog/how-to-use-strategy-builder-iron-condor/) across different instruments, where the net position matters more than any single strategy's P&L. ### Steps - From the **Strategy Builder dashboard**, select multiple strategies. ![option strategy builder alerts | AlgoTest](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_cmbhlz3q0002sxzc513a62pj5/images/screenshot-2026-05-09-115549-b612e3eda92b7f638268a19a4959b860-1778330905202-compressed.png) - Click **Add Alerts on Strategies**. - Configure parameters and connect Email or Telegram. ### **Managing Alerts** You can view, track, and manage all alerts from a single place.

Click on **Manage Alerts** to view: - Pending alerts - Triggered alerts - Alert details (instrument, strategy, timestamp, type, values) ![](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_cmbhlz3q0002sxzc513a62pj5/images/image-cp-1778330051797-compressed.png)![](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_cmbhlz3q0002sxzc513a62pj5/images/image-cp-1778330052808-compressed.png)![](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_cmbhlz3q0002sxzc513a62pj5/images/image-cp-1778330053622-compressed.png) - You can go to Manage Alerts directly from 'group of strategies' as well. ![strategy builder alerts](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_cmbhlz3q0002sxzc513a62pj5/images/unnamed-53-1778331293540-compressed.png) ## Quick Reference What you want to do Where to go Add alerts to a new strategy Strategy Builder → Add Alert Edit alerts on an existing strategy Strategy Builder → Select Strategy → Edit Alerts Apply alerts to multiple strategies Select multiple strategies → Add Alerts on Strategies View all alerts Strategy Sidebar → Manage Alerts, or Risk Dashboard For any queries, reach out via [AlgoTest's Telegram support channel](https://docs.algotest.in/getting-started/join-telegram/#1AlgoTestRealtimeExecutionHelpline). ## Conclusion Setting up alerts takes under a minute and removes the need to monitor your strategies manually.
