How to Set Up Price Alerts on the Binance App

Staring at the market is too tiring; it's impossible to stay awake 24 hours a day watching the charts. The Binance app has a very practical feature—price alerts. Once set up, when the price of a certain coin reaches your specified level, the app will automatically push a notification to you. This way, you can do other things with peace of mind and only take action when key price levels are reached. First, ensure you have the genuine app from the official Binance website, or you can just directly download the official Binance APP. For Apple users, please refer to the iOS installation guide.

What is the Price Alert Feature For?

No Need to Constantly Watch the Market

The cryptocurrency market trades 24/7 without interruption, and no one can stare at the screen all the time. By setting up price alerts, you only need to receive a notification when the price reaches a key level, and then decide whether to take action.

Seize Buying/Selling Opportunities

Suppose you want to buy Bitcoin when it drops to $60,000; you don't need to keep waiting. Set a price alert for 60,000, and you will be notified when it arrives.

Risk Control

If you hold a certain coin and worry it might suddenly plummet, you can set a low-price alert. Once the price drops to your stop-loss level, you'll receive an immediate notification to take quick action.

Track Multiple Coins

You might be keeping an eye on several coins at the same time, and it's impossible to check them one by one. Set up price alerts for each coin, and whichever hits the target will notify you, saving you time and effort.

Detailed Explanation of Price Alert Settings

Trigger Price

This is the most core setting; it's the price at which you want to receive a notification.

Example:

The current price of BTC is 65,000 USDT
You want to buy when it drops to 60,000: Set the price alert to 60,000, and choose "Below" for the direction
You want to sell when it rises to 70,000: Set the price alert to 70,000, and choose "Above" for the direction

Alert Direction

Price Above: Triggers when the coin price rises to or exceeds your set price
Price Below: Triggers when the coin price drops to or falls below your set price

Alert Frequency

One-time Alert: Automatically becomes invalid after triggering once
Repeated Alert: Alerts every time the price is reached (supported in some versions)

Notification Method

App Push Notification: The phone will pop up a notification
Email Notification: An email will also be sent to your registered email address
SMS Notification: SMS alerts are supported in some regions

Advanced Ways to Use Price Alerts

Set Range Alerts

If you want to operate within a certain price range, you can set both an upper and lower alert at the same time:

Upper limit alert: Notify when BTC rises to 70,000 (consider selling)
Lower limit alert: Notify when BTC drops to 58,000 (consider stop-loss or adding to position)

This way, you have a clear idea of the key price levels for a coin.

Use Percentage Change Alerts

In addition to absolute price alerts, some versions of the Binance App also support percentage change alerts:

Set an alert when a coin fluctuates by more than 10% within 24 hours
This is very useful for spotting abnormal volatility

Set Alerts for Multiple Coins

You can set price alerts for dozens of coins simultaneously to build your own "monitoring network."

Suggested strategy:

Mainstream coins (BTC, ETH): Set alerts for major support and resistance levels
Coins you hold: Set stop-loss alerts
Coins you watch but haven't bought: Set target buy price alerts

Settings to Ensure Price Alerts Work Properly

After setting up price alerts, if your phone's notification permissions or background run permissions are not configured correctly, you might not receive the alerts.

Must-Do Settings for Android Phones

Step 1: Enable Notification Permissions

Open phone "Settings" → "App Management" → "Binance"
Click on "Notifications"
Turn on "Allow Notifications"
Ensure various notification types (banners, lock screen, sound) are all enabled

Step 2: Disable Battery Optimization

Settings → Battery → App Launch Management
Find the Binance App
Turn off "Manage Automatically"
Manually enable "Auto-launch", "Secondary launch", and "Run in background"

Step 3: Lock the App in the Background

Open the recent tasks page, find the Binance App card, and click the lock icon (usually a small lock) so that Binance won't be killed when you clear the background.

Must-Do Settings for Apple Phones

Step 1: Enable Notifications

Settings → Notifications → Binance
Turn on "Allow Notifications"
Choose the notification style (banners, lock screen, etc.)
Ensure "Sounds" and "Badges" are both enabled

Step 2: Enable Background App Refresh

Settings → General → Background App Refresh
Ensure the main switch is turned on
Confirm that Background App Refresh for the Binance App is enabled in the list

Managing and Deleting Price Alerts

View Set Alerts

Find the price alert management page in the Binance App
Usually entered via the bell icon on the "Markets" page
This will list all the price alerts you have set

Modify Alerts

Click on an existing alert entry to modify the trigger price or alert direction.

Delete Alerts

Alerts that are no longer needed can be deleted directly:

Swipe left on the alert entry and click "Delete"
Or click to enter and select "Delete Alert"

Batch Management

If you have set many alerts, you can batch enable/disable or delete them on the management page.

The Difference Between Price Alerts and Conditional Orders

Many people confuse price alerts with conditional orders (like stop-loss orders, limit orders). Here is an explanation of the differences.

Price Alerts

Only notifies you that the price has been reached
Will not automatically execute any trades
Requires you to manually decide whether to operate after receiving the notification
Suitable for users who want to retain decision-making power

Conditional Orders (Stop-Loss/Take-Profit)

Once set, trades will be automatically executed when the price is reached
Does not require manual operation from you
Suitable for users who need to strictly execute trading plans
Set by selecting "Stop-Profit/Stop-Loss" when placing an order

Suggestion: Using both together yields the best results. Use conditional orders for stop-loss operations that need quick execution, and use price alerts for situations where you need to judge before making a decision.

Practical Application Examples of Price Alerts

Scenario 1: Waiting to Buy the Dip

You think Ethereum (ETH) has strong support at $3,000 and want to buy around this price.

Current ETH price: $3,500
Set price alert: $3,050 (below current price)
Observe market conditions upon receiving the alert; if the support is confirmed valid, manually place a buy order

Scenario 2: Take-Profit Alerts

You bought Bitcoin at $50,000 and plan to sell in batches around $65,000.

Set three alerts: 63,000, 65,000, 68,000
Start paying attention when the first alert is reached
Sell a portion when the second alert is reached
Sell the remaining portion when the third alert is reached

Scenario 3: Abnormal Volatility Monitoring

You hold some altcoins and worry about sudden plunges.

Set an alert for each coin at 20% below the current price
Once triggered, immediately check what happened
Decide whether to stop-loss or add to the position

Frequently Asked Questions

How many price alerts can I set at most?

The Binance App has a certain limit on the number of price alerts, generally allowing each user to set dozens to over a hundred alerts. The specific limit may vary depending on the App version and user tier.

Can I still receive price alerts after closing the APP?

Yes, as long as you haven't force-closed the APP (cleared it from the background), and your phone's notification permissions and background run permissions are set correctly. Binance's price alerts are pushed by the server and do not rely on the APP running in the foreground.

Is there a delay in price alerts?

There will be a slight delay (usually a few seconds to tens of seconds) because push notifications need to go through server processing and network transmission. During extreme market volatility, the delay might be slightly longer. Do not rely on price alerts for millisecond-level trading.

What if I set an alert but don't receive notifications?

The most common reason is that your phone's notification permissions are not turned on, or battery optimization features restrict Binance from running in the background. Just follow the steps in the "Settings to Ensure Price Alerts Work Properly" section above to check.

Are price alerts free?

They are free; setting up and receiving price alerts does not require any fees.
