Alerta puts trading signals, market news and an economic calendar for forex, crypto and stocks in one app, with push alerts so you never miss a setup or a market-moving event. TRADING SIGNALS WITH A FULL TRADE PLAN Every signal is a complete trade idea, not just an arrow: • Direction and entry level (buy limit or sell limit) • Stop loss, take profit 1 and take profit 2 • Risk/reward ratio and timeframe • Support and resistance levels • An alternative scenario in case price goes the other way Signals cover major forex pairs, gold, crypto such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and stocks. Tap any level to copy it straight into your broker or exchange app. MARKET NEWS, ONE SWIPE AT A TIME Market news arrives as short cards, each with a sentiment label so you see at a glance whether a story is bullish or bearish for the asset. Swipe right to keep a story, left to skip it, up to share it, down to read the full text. The feed learns what you care about, and every card you keep is saved in your news archive. ECONOMIC CALENDAR Follow the economic calendar for the week, filter events by importance and country, and get a notification before the releases that move your markets: NFP, CPI, Fed and other central bank rate decisions, GDP, PMI. YOUR ASSETS, YOUR WATCHLIST Search any forex pair, cryptocurrency or stock and add it to your favourites. Each asset has its own page with the latest price, 24 hour and 1 year range, market cap, volume, company information, and all the news and signals for that asset. ALERTS THAT FIT HOW YOU TRADE Tell Alerta which markets you trade and your style, from day trading and swing trading to position, trend and news trading. Then choose which notifications you want: new signals, calendar events, market news, or all three. ALERTA PREMIUM Premium unlocks every signal as soon as it is published, removes ads and keeps notifications on around the clock. Weekly and monthly plans, cancel anytime. Alerta provides market information and trade ideas for educational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Trading forex, crypto and stocks involves a risk of loss, and no signal is guaranteed.
