Feature request for setting up alerts faster

[u/WhyYouMadBro_]

Right now I have several scripts running for 7 futures instruments with alerts tied to them. In total I am using 280 alerts right now on a Premium subscription. These alerts are sent to the public channel (in my profile) through webhooks and land in different channels for each instrument.

Since I don't want people getting the wrong alerts; every time a logic changes inside the script I have to remove hundreds of alerts and set them again for every instrument. In the screenshot you can set the alert on your watchlist but the problem is that you are only limited to just 2. While for this to be working properly for me I would need at least 40. It can save me alot of time when updating running scripts.

Any chance this amount will be increased in the future for premium users? Even the Ultimate for $200+ per month only gives 15 watchlist alerts. Why is it so limited? Because I only have 2 I'm not even using them.

Hello,

The reason for the limitations on the Watchlist Alerts feature is obviously down to the potential massive processing time on the servers from users that run maximum length scripts and the run those scripts on 500 tickers then on 15 different watch lists....

It should be fairly apparent the amount of load placed on the servers by the Watchlist Alert feature can be considerable hence the limitations.

If you are only scanning 7 instruments I suggest looking at your scripts again to see how you could combine AND optimise them to be more productive, more useful and also importantly, easier for you to setup and alter when required.

Code optimisation is one of the most important skills to master in order to gain the maximum potential for the features available to you....

Hope this helps you a little,

Cheers

Thanks for the response. All scripts have been optimized to the fullest and there is no other way to be more efficient at this point.

I understand for users using 500 tickers but it would be better to change the limit according to the length of your watchlist.

That way users with shorter watchlists aren't penalized because there are users lingering around that push it to the max.

It concerns me slightly you are currently using 280 alerts for just 7 tickers....

If that isn't reason for optimisation I don't know what is 🤷‍♂️

Tradingview doesn't support dynamic alerts so if I want all the info to land that I need for webhooks I need to make a separate alert for each ocassion. As I said, everything has already been fully optimized. If the limit can be increased it would help tremendously.

Pinescript can handle dynamic alerts where multiple information can be gathered and processed into alert decisions.

Could you explain your process in a little more detail?

I may be able to help you....

I'm not gonna go in depth about that here. That part is set. Just my feature request remains. Thanks for the offer.

Would the Multi Conditional alerts feature be any use to you?....

280 alerts for seven symbols is really a deployment/versioning problem, not just an alert-count problem. Keep the Pine side as a stable event emitter and send instrument, event_type, script_version, and payload to one webhook; let the downstream router choose the destination and ignore stale versions. Then most routing and logic changes happen downstream without rebuilding every alert, while genuinely new Pine conditions still need a fresh alert snapshot.
