Notice what’s missing? The one<\/em> type of notification you never miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So in this article, I’m going to show you how to get the TradingView text message alerts<\/strong> you’re after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it doesn’t require any integrations, or APIs, or even any technical work (or skill) at all<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll point TradingView’s email-to-SMS option at a forwarding address that turns the email into an actual SMS on your phone. And we’ll do it in about five minutes flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s the playbook: We’re going to grab a forwarding address that turns email into SMS, register it as an alternative email inside your TradingView account, and then tick the right checkbox when you create an alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Head over to text.email<\/a> (which is the quickest email-to-SMS service available) and sign up. You’ll get your own email-to-text address that’s something like When an email lands at that address, text.email turns it into a text message<\/a> and sends it to your phone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Copy your address so you have it as we head to TradingView next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TradingView keeps your alert email destinations in account settings, separate from the alert itself. So before you can use the new address, you need to register it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In TradingView, click your avatar in the top right and go to Settings and billing \u2192 Alerts delivery<\/strong>. There’s an Add email<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click it, paste in your text.email forwarding address, and submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TradingView will fire off a verification code to that address. text.email will forward it as a text, and the verification code will arrive on your phone as an SMS. (Which is its own little proof-of-concept moment.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Open any alert (existing or new) using the bell icon, right-click on the chart, and scroll to the Notifications<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’re looking for a checkbox labeled Send Email<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure your text.email address is selected as the destination (it should appear in the dropdown now that you’ve registered it). Save the alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You want to make sure you’re sending it as plain text only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emails are long. Texts are short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both TradingView and text.email offer ways to format your messages to make them more appropriate for text length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TradingView’s guide is here<\/a> (you might structure your messages like And text.email’s SMS formatting<\/a> can help you pull out even more fine-tuned info from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s a fair question. While email-to-text works, it does feel a little like a hack or a work around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So let’s dive into why it really is the best (and, maybe, only truly viable) method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the past quarter of a century, every major U.S. cell phone carrier offered email-to-text services. You’d email a special address tied to a phone number (like TradingView’s own documentation still suggests using these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well… don’t:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There were a few reasons why they killed their gateways. One is they were overrun with spam. And two, new regulations (which I’ll get into momentarily) around applications sending text messages effectively killed off the services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The natural next thought is to wire up TradingView’s webhook option to a Twilio<\/a> number and send your own SMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And yes, you could do that. But that’s another system to build and maintain (even vibe coding it is a project).<\/p>\n\n\n\n But beyond that, you’ll need to sign up for something called A2P 10DLC<\/a><\/strong>, which is the regulatory framework around application-to-person texting in the U.S. That’s a long, costly, and bureaucratic process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s a lot of “reinventing the wheel” here to ultimately save a couple of dollars a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alright. You’ve got the process now, and the whole thing is about a five-minute setup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to test out email-to-text first? You can even try this method without signing up for an account (no credit card or anything)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just go into TradingView and put TradingView Text Alerts: Table of Contents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
