TradingView's current documentation limits Premium to two active watchlist alerts rather than 400, while scanner-fed watchlist automation remains undocumented, so the plan comparison has been corrected and the article's core guidance still holds.
What’s New With TradingView Watchlist Alerts?
TradingView now allows traders to set alerts tied to watchlists. This means traders can create alerts that apply to multiple tickers within a watchlist instead of setting individual alerts for each one.
This feature opens the door for increased flexibility and efficiency in automated trading, especially when integrating TradingView with TradersPost.
How Does This Affect TradersPost Users?
1. More Efficient Alerts – Instead of manually creating alerts for each ticker in a strategy, traders can now apply alerts to an entire watchlist.
2. Potential for More Signals – Depending on implementation, this could significantly increase the number of alerts coming into TradersPost.
3. Limits on Alerts – TradingView still imposes watchlist alert limits based on subscription type (e.g., 2 active watchlist alerts for the Premium plan)1.
4. Manual Watchlist Updates – Currently, watchlists must be updated manually, as TradingView does not yet allow automated scanner-fed watchlists.
The Next Step: Automating Watchlist Updates
A major improvement would be automated watchlist population from scanners, allowing traders to:
• Run a scanner to find the best tickers based on strategy criteria.
• Automatically update a watchlist with the selected tickers.
• Apply alerts to the dynamically updated watchlist.
This capability does not yet exist, but if introduced, it could fully automate the process of selecting and trading the best opportunities each day.
Conclusion
TradingView’s new watchlist alerts feature simplifies setting alerts for multiple tickers, offering TradersPost users greater flexibility. While watchlists still require manual updates, the ability to tie alerts to them improves efficiency in trade automation. A future feature allowing scanners to automatically update watchlists would be a game-changer.
