### What are Alerts?

Alerts allow you to set specific criteria and be notified immediately once that criterion has been met.

### Creating an alert via the desktop

To create an alert simply press the bell icon on the market you wish to trade on or be notified of, then enter your price and click 'Set Alert' - once the price inserted has been hit we will send you an email to alert you.
