How to Set Price Alerts on OKX: A Guide for Ups and Downs Notifications
To set a price alert on OKX, the entry point is in the K-line chart area of the trading page—find the bell icon and click into it. The setup paths for the App and Web versions differ slightly, but the core logic is the same: select the coin, set the trigger price, and choose the notification method.

1. App Setup Steps
According to the OKX official help center, the specific path for setting price alerts on the App is as follows:
Open the OKX App, tap the [Trade] button at the bottom to enter the trading page.
Select the trading type (Spot/Futures) at the top, then tap the three dots (⋯) in the upper right corner.
In the pop-up menu, select [Alert].
Tap [Add] and configure the trigger conditions:
Select the price type: Above/Below/Equal to a specific price.
Enter the specific trigger price.
Tap [Add] to complete the setup.
Once set, the App will push a notification when the coin price reaches your preset level.
2. Web Setup Steps
The Web version is more intuitive:
Log in to the OKX website and enter any trading pair page.
Find the bell icon in the upper right area of the K-line chart and click to open it.
Click [Create Alert] or [Add Alert].
Configure the trigger price and conditions as needed.
Click [Add] to save.
3. Advanced Feature: Adding Notes
OKX's alert function supports adding custom messages to each alert. When setting up the alert, you can enter a note in the designated field—for example, "Breakthrough previous high, consider adding positions" or "Reached support level, ready to buy in batches."
When the alert triggers, you will receive not only the price notification but also the note you wrote at the time, helping you quickly recall your trading plan.
4. Notification Settings Adjustment
After setting up alerts, you need to confirm that notifications can be delivered properly:
App: Go to [Trade] page → Tap the three dots in the upper right corner → [Trade Settings] → [Preferences] → [Trade Notifications], where you can enable or disable push alerts.
Web: Click the settings icon on the right side of the trading page → [Preferences Settings] → [Trade Notifications], where you can also adjust the notification switch.

5. C2C Trading Price Alerts
For C2C trading scenarios, the entry point for price alerts is different: Enter the C2C trading page → Tap [My] → [Price Alerts] → [Create Alert]. A buy alert triggers when the price is below a certain amount, and a sell alert triggers when the price is above a certain amount. After successful setup, it notifies only once, and the alert is then deleted; you need to set it again for future use.
Will price alerts be received on both the App and Web simultaneously?
OKX supports both App push and Web notifications. On the App, you can enable notification reception on both App and Web platforms in the [Trade Notifications] settings, or choose one individually.
How do I close or modify a set price alert?
In the [Alert] list on the App, find the set alert, swipe or tap to edit to modify the trigger price, or delete the alert and create a new one.
Will price alerts trigger repeatedly?
Each time the price touches the preset condition, a notification will trigger. If repeat alerts are enabled, it will notify again when the price hits the condition again; if repeat alerts are not enabled, some scenarios (like C2C alerts) are one-time only and become invalid after triggering.
