Alerts and Telegram

Quintal Mind alerts watch a spread cell on the sheets, the lowest straddle, or an index spot level, and notify you when the value crosses a level you set. A fired alert shows as a pop-up in the app and can also be sent to your Telegram.

What alerts can watch​

  • A sheet cell. Click any cell on the sheets and choose Create Alert. The Create alert dialog shows the cell you picked and its buy, sell, call or put side.
  • Lowest straddle. Inside the same dialog, + Add lowest straddle condition adds a second condition. Both must be true together (AND).
  • Index spot. On an index candle chart, the Price alert tool places a line. Click above the current price to alert on a cross above, or below it for a cross below. Drag the line to move the level.

In the dialog:

  • Alert type: Strike Specific watches one fixed strike. ATM Based keeps the same distance from ATM (at-the-money) as spot moves.
  • Trigger: Falls below or Rises above, and a level. Tap the Live value to use the current price as the level.
  • One-shot: pause the alert after it fires once. Without it, the alert is recurring and waits a cooldown before firing again.

How alerts fire​

Alerts are checked on the server against live values. A condition must hold on three checks in a row before the alert fires, so a single stray tick does not trigger it. When an expiry rolls over, alerts on that symbol's old series are removed.

When an alert fires:

  • A pop-up appears at the bottom right with the alert name and what crossed, with a short chime. The speaker button mutes the chime. Clicking the pop-up opens the Alerts page.
  • If you linked Telegram, the same alert is sent to your Telegram chat.

The Alerts page​

The page lists every alert with its status (active, triggered or paused), its conditions with the live cell value next to each, One-shot or Recurring, when it last fired and how many times. Each card has Pause/Resume, Reset (back to active after it fired) and Delete. Reset All reactivates every triggered or paused alert.

  1. Sign in with your broker and open your Profile, then Telegram alerts.
  2. Click Connect Telegram. It opens the Quintal Mind bot in Telegram.
  3. Tap Start in the bot. That chat is now linked to your account. The link is single-use and expires in 30 minutes.

Two switches control what is sent: All notifications and Price alerts that fire. Disconnect unlinks the chat. One Telegram chat links to one account.

FAQ​

How do I set an alert on a NIFTY butterfly or ratio spread price?​

Click the cell in the Quintal Mind sheet, choose Create Alert, pick Falls below or Rises above, enter a level and save. The alert fires when that spread price crosses your level.

Can I get option alerts on Telegram?​

Yes. In your Profile, open Telegram alerts, click Connect Telegram and tap Start in the bot. Fired price alerts are then sent to that chat.

Do alerts work when the sheet is closed?​

Yes. Alerts are checked on the server, so they fire even if no Quintal Mind tab is open. Use Telegram to receive them when you are away from the app.

Can an alert follow the ATM strike as the market moves?​

Yes. Choose ATM Based when you create it. The alert then watches the same distance from ATM as spot moves, instead of one fixed strike.
