# 6) Get notified by sell alerts

## I) Sell alerts

A sell alert is triggered as soon as a cryptocurrency’s price:

* Reaches one of the target levels (TP1, TP2, or TP3), or
* Falls below the stop-loss threshold (SL).

When this happens, the corresponding cryptocurrency line is **highlighted**.

### Alert colors

Each type of alert has a distinct color:

* **Stop-Loss (SL)** -> Red
* **Take-Profit (TP)** -> Blue
  * Faded blue for TP1
  * Medium blue for TP2
  * Bright blue for TP3

In the video below, we simulate the display of all four alerts (TP1, TP2, TP3, and SL) by successively adjusting Solana’s price thresholds to match the current market price.

### Display of alerts

* The highlight extends to the column corresponding to the alert level (TP1, TP2, TP3, or SL).

* Additional information appears directly inside the alert cell:
  * Exit percentage
  * Capital to withdraw
* These values reflect the parameters you previously defined in these windows:
  * “Strategy” (see [4) Set up exit positions](/documentation/en/4-set-up-exit-positions.md))
  * “Sell alerts” (see [5) Generate automated positions](/documentation/en/5-generate-automated-positions.md)).

### Monitoring indicators

At the top of the **“Objectives”** panel, indicators continuously show the number of active sell alerts in your portfolio.

<figure><img src="/files/hOCaZm1LagcMuMLxgmOW" alt="In this example, two cryptocurrencies have reached their target prices: one at TP3, and the other at TP1."><figcaption><p>In this example, 18 cryptocurrencies have reached their target prices: 10 at SL, 2 at TP3 and 6 at TP1.</p></figcaption></figure>

### **Applying (or not) your strategy**

{% hint style="info" %}

* When an alert appears:
  * **No sale is executed automatically.**
  * &#x20;You remain solely responsible for deciding whether to close your position.
* As a reminder, Crypto Excel is designed to help you prepare your strategy in advance, so you can apply it when the time comes.
  * If you have already placed a **limit sell order** on your exchange, it will execute automatically.
  * However, if your strategy has evolved or you wish to take advantage of a bullish trend, you may choose to **postpone the sale**.
    {% endhint %}

**Pour perform the sale:**

* Log in to the exchange or wallet holding the cryptocurrency affected by the sell alert.
* Sell the amount corresponding to the **exit percentage** defined in your strategy.
  * Example: you hold 1 BTC.
  * TP1 target price reached, exit percentage set at 10%.
  * -> You sell 0.1 BTC.
* Then, add the “Sell” transaction to your dashboard (see [3) Add and edit transactions](/documentation/en/3-add-and-edit-transactions.md)).&#x20;
* Finally, **update your strategy.**

{% hint style="info" %}
**Examples of Strategy Adjustments:**

* If you sell part of your position after reaching **TP1**, you can shift your target prices up by one step:
  * Your former **TP2** becomes the new **TP1**.
  * Your former **TP3** becomes the new **TP2**.
  * You create a new **TP3** (or leave it empty).
    {% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
-> This update clears the highlight associated with the alert on your dashboard.
{% endhint %}

## II) Follow Notifications

* As seen earlier, any unprocessed sell alert remains visible on your dashboard.
* These alerts can continue to evolve, making it difficult to track what exactly happened in your portfolio.
* To address this, Crypto Excel offers **two complementary tracking methods.**

### Via the side panel of your dashboard

* Click the **bell icon** in the top-right hand corner of your dashboard.
* A sidebar will open, summarizing all status changes for your sell alerts.
  * **New target reached:**
    * nothing -> TP1
    * TP1 -> TP2
    * TP2 -> TP3
    * nothing -> SL
  * **Return to a previous target:**
    * TP3 -> TP2
    * TP2 -> TP1
  * **Expired alert:**
    * TP1 ->  nothing
    * SL ->  nothing

### Receive a daily email

You can also receive a **daily summary email** of all alert status changes, automatically sent at the time of your choice.

{% hint style="success" %}
With this option, there’s no need to check your dashboard to stay informed.
{% endhint %}

**To activate this option:**

* Click your **profile icon** to open the dropdown menu.
* Select “**Notifications**”.

<figure><img src="/files/G0ffbg2GoigfLThpNSBa" alt="Quick access to email notifications"><figcaption><p>Quick access to email notifications</p></figcaption></figure>

* In the “Receive Notifications” pop-up window, fill in the following fields:
  * **Time**: Choose the desired sending time (UTC+2).
  * **Email address**: Enter the address where you wish to receive the daily email.

{% hint style="info" %}
This address can be different from the one linked to your Crypto Excel account.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/z7EtES36bDaGCL5jz627" alt="“Receive Notifications” window"><figcaption><p>“Receive Notifications” window</p></figcaption></figure>

* You’ll receive the email every day at the chosen time, with a summary of recent events.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If multiple status changes occur for the same cryptocurrency within the last 24 hours, **only the most recent one** will appear in the email.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/qGm90R5mPHqwEdU5IQKV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**To deactivate email notifications:**

* Clear the email address field.
* Click “Confirm”.

## III) Minimum Profit / Loss condition

The “Generate automated positions” window contains a third line that we have not yet covered:

* **Minimum Profit / Loss**

<figure><img src="/files/GYZDVeD2stM3ysbTtsf3" alt="Minimum Profit / Loss condition applied to all four thresholds (TP1, TP2, TP3, and SL)"><figcaption><p>Minimum Profit / Loss condition applied to all four thresholds (TP1, TP2, TP3, and SL)</p></figcaption></figure>

This option allows you to add an **additional condition** for displaying sell alerts, based on a minimum profit or loss threshold.

{% hint style="info" %}
This setting is **optional**. You can leave the fields empty if you do not wish to use it.
{% endhint %}

Thanks to this condition, **sell alerts** **will not be displayed** for cryptocurrencies that represent too small a share of your portfolio (those whose sale would have a negligible impact on your overall profitability).

This setting helps avoid **alert overload** in portfolios containing many cryptocurrencies, allowing you to focus on the ones that truly matter.

{% hint style="info" %}

* Once configured, this condition applies to both exit positions:
  * Manual (see [4) Set up exit positions](/documentation/en/4-set-up-exit-positions.md))
  * Automated (see [5) Generate automated positions](/documentation/en/5-generate-automated-positions.md))
    {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

* The values entered must be **strictly positive**, even in the case of losses (Stop-Loss).
  {% endhint %}

### Alert activation criteria

Once this setting is enabled, a sell alert will only appear if **both of the following conditions** are met:

* **For TP1, TP2 and TP3:**
  * The **current price** is above the **target price** (TP1, TP2 or TP3)\
    **AND**
  * The **unrealized profit** exceeds the **minimum profit** treshold.
* **For SL:**
  * The **current price** is below the **stop-loss limit treshold** (SL)\
    **AND**
  * **The absolute value of the unrealized losses** exceeds the **minimum loss** treshold.

{% hint style="info" %}

* Losses are shown in the **“Profit / Loss”** column with a **negative** sign (e.g., -€310).
* The absolute value converts this number into a positive value (€310) before comparing it to the defined threshold.
  {% endhint %}

**Example:**

* In the video below:
  * **Solana**’s exit positions were set **manually**.
  * **Bitcoin**’s exit positions were generated **automatically**.
* As soon as the Minimum Profit / Loss condition is enabled, the sell alert will **no longer trigger**, even if the price targets are reached.

> *Double-click or press the “F” key to display the video in full screen.*

{% embed url="<https://www.loom.com/share/ece331a60f48472ab8a6a38707647274>" %}
After setting the minimum profit threshold to €700 for TP1, it stops appearing for both cryptocurrencies in the portfolio.
{% endembed %}
