How to Create Elev8 TradingView Alerts
Elev8 sweep reversals can be monitored automatically using TradingView alerts. Instead of staring at your chart all day, alerts notify you whenever:
- Elev8 prints a triangle reversal signal
- Elev8 prints a premium LS confirmation
- Price touches or sweeps a major sweep level (PDH, PDL, Asia, London, etc.)
Alerts can be delivered to your TradingView app, SMS, or email, allowing you to focus on execution without needing to watch every tick.
Step 1: Open the Alert Menu
To create an alert:
- Click the Alerts icon on the right toolbar
- Or right-click on the chart and select Create Alert
A popup window will appear showing alert conditions, frequency, and delivery options.
Step 2: Select the Elev8 Condition
In the alert popup:
- Under the Condition dropdown, choose your Elev8 script name
Once selected, a second dropdown will appear showing all available alert conditions coded into Elev8.
Elev8 typically exposes:
- Triangle Reversal (for raw sweep reversals)
- LS Premium Confirmation (for filtered sweeps)
- Sweep Level Touch (for level monitoring)
The exact wording may vary based on your script version, but the logic is identical.
Step 3: Choose Your Signal Type
Triangle Reversal Alert
Use this alert if you want to be notified anytime a sweep + rejection completes and a bar closes:
- Higher frequency
- Useful for active intraday monitoring
- Pairs well with level context and session timing
LS Premium Confirmation Alert
LS signals are highly selective and represent:
- Premium sweep + absorption
- Better asymmetric entries
- Fewer alerts, higher quality
If you only want alerts for top-tier sweep reversals, use LS.
Sweep Level Touch Alert
This fires when price hits a major liquidity magnet such as:
- Prior Day High/Low
- Asia or London High/Low
- Weekly or Monthly levels
- Overnight range boundaries
This helps you prepare for incoming sweeps and avoid missing emotional runs. A level alert does not mean enter — it means watch for rejection logic.
Step 4: Set Alert Frequency
For sweep reversals, choose:
- Once Per Bar Close
This ensures:
- No alerts mid-bar while liquidity is still harvesting
- No false confirmations
- Rejections are confirmed only after bar completion
This is the most important setting for accuracy.
Step 5: Choose Delivery Method
TradingView lets you receive alerts via:
- App notifications
- SMS (select countries)
- Webhook (for automation)
For mobile convenience:
- Enable app push notifications
For execution tracking or journaling:
- Enable email notifications to save screenshots automatically
Step 6: Write Your Alert Message
Customize the alert text to match your logic. For example:
Elev8 Sweep Reversal Confirmed — Check Sweep Level, Stop Above Wick, Target VWAP
Avoid vague messages like “Signal fired.” Your alert instruction should remind you of:
- Context
- Risk model
- Target logic
Step 7: Save the Alert
Click Create. TradingView will now monitor the chart automatically and notify you only when fully confirmed sweeps occur.
Alert Best Practices
- Do not act on mid-bar alerts — always wait for bar close
- Triangle alerts = more setups, require more context
- LS alerts = fewer setups, higher accuracy and confidence
- Use level alerts to prepare ahead of sweeps, not enter trades
- Keep alerts during London or NY open for strongest signal quality
When Webhooks Make Sense
If you want to automate:
- Entry logic
- Position sizing
- Journaling
- Execution routing
Use webhook alerts and connect them to:
- A bot or VPS
- A journaling database
- A Tradeovate/IBKR automation flow
This allows you to build fully or partially automated sweep execution logic.
Summary
- Level alerts = prepare for sweeps
- Triangle alerts = raw sweep reversals
- LS alerts = premium selective confirmations
- Use Once Per Bar Close to avoid false signals
- Combine alerts with session timing and wick confirmation
Elev8 alerts allow you to trade efficiently, avoid screen fatigue, and focus only on confirmed asymmetric opportunities.
