How to set up and manage price alerts

By setting a price alert you can get a notification when the price of an asset you follow reaches the level you set. Alerts are managed through a window; the alert types and notification frequency options are below.

How do I reach the alerts window?

You can reach your alerts in two ways:

1. Open Paribu.com and hover over the profile icon in the top right
2. Click Alarms in the menu that opens

Note: Alarms is a window, not a page — only the window parameter is added to the address bar and the page you are on does not change

To set an alert for a specific asset, click that asset on the wallet page and use the Set alarm button in the asset details window.

How do I set an alert?

1. Open the Alarms window
2. Click the button to set a new alert
3. Choose the asset you want the alert for; you can use the search field
4. Choose the alert type and enter the value it needs
5. Choose how many times the alert should run in the Notification frequency section
6. Save the alert

Note: An alert cannot be set without choosing an asset. The window prompts you to select a crypto asset first

Which alert types are available?

Type	How it is set
Price target	You enter a target price; you are notified when the price reaches that value
Price increase / Price drop	You enter a percentage; you are notified when the price rises or falls by that share
Sudden price change	Set with ready-made thresholds; you do not enter a value yourself

The alert you set appears in the list together with its trigger condition — for a target price alert the price you set, for a rise alert the change you are waiting for.

Quick alerts

If you do not want to enter values one by one, you can use the ready-made thresholds in the Quick alerts section. These alerts look at a group rather than a single asset: they notify you when the average price in a category, the value of any asset in the market or the total value of your wallet changes by a certain share.

Ready-made alerts are also available for the assets you add to your favorites and for stock indices.

How do I choose the notification frequency?

You choose one of three frequency options when setting an alert. Your choice also determines what happens to the alert after it is triggered.

Option	What it does
One time	You get a single notification when the price reaches your target. The alarm is deleted automatically after it is sent
Hourly	You get at most one notification per hour when the price reaches your target. The alarm is not deleted
Continuous	You get a notification when the price reaches your target. The alarm updates itself automatically after it is sent

Warning: This is the most common reason behind "my alert disappeared": a One time alert is deleted after it is triggered. If you want the alert to stay, use Hourly or Continuous

How do I manage my alerts?

The Alarms window lists the alerts you have set. You can delete an alert from the list and set a new one in its place. Instead of editing the target value of an existing alert, you need to delete it and set it again.

Alert history

You can see your triggered alerts in the Alarm history section. The section states this itself: the alerts you set appear there once they are triggered, and only alerts triggered in the last month are listed.

History rows state which asset the alert was triggered on and under which condition.

Warning: Alert history covers the last month only. Older triggers are not listed

Alert limit

The number of alerts you can set for one asset is limited. When you reach the limit, the window states that you have reached the alert limit for that asset and no new alert can be added. The limit is set by the system; you can see the current number on screen while setting an alert.

Things to know

• Alarms is a window; the page does not change
• You need to sign in to set an alert
• A One time alert is deleted after it is triggered
• Alert history shows the last month only
• The number of alerts you can set for one asset is limited and the limit is set by the system
• Your browser notification permissions must be on to receive alert notifications

Frequently asked questions

Which assets can I set alerts for?

You can set price alerts for the crypto assets listed on Paribu. You can define a different target and notification frequency for each asset. Quick alerts, on the other hand, look at a category or at the total value of your wallet rather than a single asset.

How many alerts can I set?

The number of alerts you can set for one asset is limited and the limit is set by the system. A warning appears on screen when you reach it. You can see the current number while setting an alert.

My alert was triggered but it is not in the list — why?

If you set the alert as One time, it is deleted automatically after the notification is sent. You can see the triggered alert in the Alarm history section. If you want the alert to stay, use Hourly or Continuous.

Can I edit an alert?

Instead of editing the target value or frequency of an existing alert, you need to delete it and set a new one for the same asset.

What should I do if no notification arrives?

First make sure your browser notification permissions are on. If permission is off, no notification reaches you even though the alert is set. If the problem continues, you can start the live support chat through Paribu Support to get in touch with us.

By setting price alerts on Paribu, you can monitor market movements 24/7 with notifications for the assets you follow. When the price of the asset you have set an alert for reaches the level you specified, Paribu sends you a notification.

What is a price alert?

A price alert is a feature that notifies you when the price of an asset you follow reaches a target you have set. You can set alerts for all crypto assets listed on Paribu. You can assign a One-time, Hourly, or Continuous notification frequency to each alert.

How to set up an alert

You can set up an alert in two ways: by selecting an asset from the Alerts screen or directly from the asset detail screen. Both paths lead to the same alert creation screen.

From the Alerts screen

1. From the My account section you open via the menu icon at the top left of the screen, navigate to Alerts
2. Tap the Set alert button at the bottom of the screen
3. Choose the asset for which you want to set an alert from the asset selection screen
4. Enter the target price, frequency, and other details, then tap the Save alert button

From the asset detail screen

1. Open the market detail screen of the asset you want to set an alert for
2. Tap the Set alert button under the Alerts section
3. Set the target price and frequency on the screen that opens
4. Tap the Save alert button

Entering the target price

You can set the target price in two ways on the alert creation screen:

• Price entry: Type the price at which you want the alert to trigger directly into the large input field at the top of the screen. As you type, the percentage difference relative to the current price is shown in real time.
• Percentage selector: Use the horizontal scroll ruler below the input field to select a target between 50% below and 100% above the current price. The target price is calculated automatically as you select. The range is deliberately asymmetric: a price can at most halve, but it can rise several times over.

The target price needs to stay within a certain distance of the current price. If you enter a value that is too far away, the save button stays disabled and a warning showing the allowed range appears on the screen.

Notification frequency

By tapping the frequency icon at the top of the screen, you can choose between three notification frequencies:

• One-time: You receive a single notification when the price reaches the level you set. After the notification is sent, the alert is automatically deleted.
• Hourly: As long as the price stays in the range you set, you receive at most one notification per hour.
• Continuous: You receive a notification each time the price reaches the target. In this mode you may receive more notifications; at most six notifications per day. This is the default frequency.

Where can I manage my alerts?

All custom alerts you have set are listed under the My alerts section on the Alerts screen. Alerts are grouped by asset; when you open a group, you can see all the alerts you have set for that asset.

Each alert row contains the following information:

• Direction icon (↑/↓): Indicates whether the alert will trigger on a price increase or decrease
• Alert description: Shown as "If the price drops by 12%" for percentage alerts, and as Price target for target price alerts
• Frequency badge: The notification frequency of the alert

Deleting an alert

To delete an alert, swipe the relevant row to the left with your finger; tap the red trash bin icon that appears on the right to remove the alert.

Note: You cannot directly edit the price or frequency of an existing alert. To make changes, delete the alert and create a new one.

Alert history

You can review previously triggered alerts on the Alert history screen. Access the past alerts screen via the Alert history button at the bottom of the Alerts screen. The history is presented as a timeline grouped by date; each card shows the price at the moment the alert was triggered and the related asset. If you have no triggered alerts yet, the screen displays the message "Triggered alerts will appear here."

System alerts

In addition to the custom alerts you set, Paribu also provides system alerts for general market movements. You can toggle these alerts on or off on the Alerts screen:

• Sudden price movement: When the value of any crypto asset on the market changes by 10%
• Favorites: When the price changes by 10% on your favorite assets
• Fan: When the price of any asset in the Fan category changes by 10%

Alert limits and notification permissions

The number of alerts you can set for each asset is limited. When you reach the limit, an Alert limit screen opens and states how many alerts in total you can set for that asset; to add a new alert, you must delete one of the existing ones.

For alert notifications to reach you, the notification permissions on your device must be enabled. When notification permission is disabled, a warning is displayed on the Alerts screen; tap the button on the warning to open device permissions directly.

Warning: When notification permission is disabled, you do not receive notifications even if alerts are triggered; you can only see triggered alerts on the Alert history screen.

Frequently asked questions

Which assets can I set alerts for?

You can set price alerts for all crypto assets listed on Paribu. You can define different target prices and notification frequencies for each asset.

How many alerts can I set?

The limit applies per asset: you can set a certain number of alerts for each asset, and different assets use that limit separately. When you reach the limit, the Alert limit screen shows the number that applies to that asset.

What happens when an alert triggers?

You receive a notification based on the frequency you set. A One-time alert is automatically deleted after triggering; an Hourly alert sends one notification per hour as long as it triggers; a Continuous alert sends at most six notifications per day. All triggered alerts are also listed on the Alert history screen.

Can I edit an alert?

Editing an existing alert is not supported. To change the target price or frequency, you must delete the alert and create a new one for the same asset.

What should I do if notifications do not arrive?

First, make sure your device's notification permissions are enabled. If notification permission is disabled, a warning banner appears on the Alerts screen; tap the button on it to go directly to device settings and enable permission. If the issue persists, you can reach out via Paribu Support live chat.
