How to Get TradingView Alerts as Phone Calls

Missing a critical TradingView alert because your phone was on silent? Tired of constantly checking your screen for notifications? Phone call alerts solve these problems by making your phone ring loudly whenever an alert triggers - impossible to miss, even when you're sleeping or your phone is in another room.

In this comprehensive guide, you'll learn exactly how to set up instant phone call alerts from TradingView in under 2 minutes.

Why Phone Calls Are Better Than Push Notifications

Before we dive into the setup, let's understand why serious traders are switching to phone call alerts:

**Speed**: Phone calls arrive in under 2 seconds, compared to 3-15 seconds for push notifications and 5-10 seconds for SMS. When trading volatile assets, those extra seconds matter.

**Reliability**: Phone calls have a 99.9% delivery rate. Push notifications can fail if your app is closed, your phone is on low battery mode, or notifications are disabled. Phone calls always get through.

**Impossible to Miss**: Your phone rings loudly regardless of silent mode (if set as emergency contact), works without internet, and will wake you up for overnight alerts. Perfect for catching market moves in different time zones.

**No App Required**: Phone calls work on any device, anywhere. You don't need TradingView's app installed or have an internet connection.

What You Need Before Starting

To receive TradingView alerts as phone calls, you'll need:

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

### Step 1: Sign Up for TradeAlert.Pro

First, you need a service that can receive TradingView's webhooks and convert them into phone calls. TradeAlert.Pro is the fastest option with sub-2 second delivery.

1. Go to TradeAlert.Pro and click "Start Free Trial"

2. Create your account (no credit card required for 3 free calls/month)

3. Verify your phone number with the 6-digit code

4. Copy your unique webhook URL from the dashboard

Your webhook URL will look like: `https://tradealert.pro/hook/[username]/[api-key]`

**Pro Tip**: Save this URL somewhere safe - you'll need it for every TradingView alert you create.

### Step 2: Enable 2-Factor Authentication on TradingView

TradingView requires 2FA for webhook security:

1. Log in to TradingView

2. Click your profile icon → Settings

3. Navigate to Security settings

4. Enable Two-Factor Authentication

5. Follow the setup instructions with your authenticator app

This only takes 2 minutes and significantly improves your account security.

### Step 3: Create a Webhook Alert in TradingView

Now for the actual alert setup:

1. **Open your TradingView chart** for the asset you want to monitor

2. **Click the Alert button** (clock icon) at the top of the chart

3. **Set your alert conditions**:

- Choose your condition (price crossing, indicator signal, etc.)

- Set your target price or indicator values

- Select "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid spam alerts

4. **Configure notifications**:

- Check the "Webhook URL" box

- Paste your TradeAlert.Pro webhook URL

- (Optional) Customize the message - this will be spoken in the phone call

5. **Click Create**

That's it! Your alert is now live.

### Step 4: Test Your Alert

Before relying on your alert for real trading:

1. Set a test alert with conditions that will trigger immediately (e.g., current price)

2. Wait for your phone to ring (should be under 2 seconds)

3. Listen to the voice message to confirm it contains the correct information

4. Check your TradeAlert.Pro dashboard to see the call history

If the call doesn't come through, check the troubleshooting section below.

Customizing Your Alert Messages

The message you enter in TradingView's alert will be converted to speech and read aloud in the phone call. Here are some best practices:

**Keep it concise**: "Bitcoin crossed 45,000 dollars, buy signal confirmed" is perfect.

**Avoid special characters**: Use simple punctuation. Commas create natural pauses in the speech.

**Include key information**: Ticker symbol, price level, action (buy/sell), and any critical context.

**Use TradingView placeholders**: {{ticker}}, {{price}}, {{time}} are automatically populated.

Example template: `{{ticker}} alert: Price {{price}}, action required`

Advanced Tips for Power Users

**Create alert groups**: Use tags in your messages to categorize alerts (e.g., "[SCALP] BTC alert" or "[SWING] AAPL alert").

**Monitor multiple timeframes**: Create separate alerts for different chart timeframes to catch both quick moves and longer-term trends.

**Use conditional alerts**: Combine multiple indicators in your alert conditions to reduce false signals.

**Rate limit awareness**: TradingView webhooks have a limit of 60 requests per minute and 500 per hour per account. Design your alerts accordingly.
