A named voice alert tells you which price level was crossed. You do not have to identify the meaning of a generic beep while watching another chart.
The alert should support a plan you already made. It does not tell you whether to enter, exit or change direction.
Choose one level with a clear purpose
Start with a level that already matters to your setup. Examples may include a previous-day high, previous-day low, gap level, pivot or a price you marked yourself.
Write down why the level matters before creating the alert. A useful note can be one short sentence:
Review the setup if Nifty spot crosses the previous-day high.
The level is a reminder to review. It is not an automatic reason to place a trade.
Give the level a name you will understand
Use a short name that explains the level when spoken aloud.
Clear names include:
- Previous-day high
- Morning range low
- Heavy resistance
- Previous buyer level
- Planned exit level
Avoid names such as “Alert 1” or “Line 3.” They force you to look at the chart before you know what happened.
If you watch several symbols, include the symbol in the name when the platform supports it. This helps you separate similar alerts.
Choose the crossing direction
Price can cross the same level upwards or downwards. Choose the direction that matches the reason for the alert.
For example, a trader may want to hear when price crosses above resistance. Another plan may need an alert when price falls below support.
Check the current market price before saving the level. Placing a level on the wrong side of price can cause an immediate or unexpected alert.
Keep alerts and exit triggers separate
A price alert tells you that the crossing happened. Your position stays open.
An exit trigger sends an exit request when the crossing happens. The request may be for positions on the current chart or for all positions, depending on the setting.
Review these details before choosing an exit action:
- Which symbol is the level attached to?
- Does the level use an upward or downward crossing?
- Will the action affect current-chart positions or all positions?
- Is the broker session active?
- What happens if the browser, device or connection stops working?
An exit trigger cannot guarantee a fill at the level price. Price may move before the broker accepts and fills the order.
Test the alert before market hours
Check the full path before relying on a voice alert:
- Confirm that browser sound is on.
- Check the device volume.
- Use a name that is easy to hear.
- Confirm the chart and symbol.
- Test the alert action with sample data when available.
- Remove old levels that are no longer part of the plan.
A visible line is still useful when audio is unavailable. Keep the chart label clear enough to understand without sound.
How named levels work in Zen Terminal
Zen Terminal lets you mark a price, give the level a name and choose what should happen when price crosses it.
You can select Alert me to keep the position open and hear the level name. You can also select Trigger an exit, then choose current-chart positions or all positions.
Use Ctrl + H while pointing at the chart price to add a voice-alerted level. Use Ctrl + Shift + H to remove the nearest level.
The voice alert depends on working browser sound. An exit action also depends on the device, connection, broker session and order execution.
