How to Delete Alerts on TradingView (Desktop and Mobile)

TradingView alerts are price or indicator conditions that notify you when the market hits a level you care about. I set a breakout alert on NVDA at $950 last Tuesday, then forgot about it. By Friday I had six more alerts across different tickers and could not tell which ones still mattered. Deleting old alerts clears the noise, and TradingView gives you several ways to do it.

I delete alerts almost every week. Some have price levels that no longer make sense. Others were tied to trades I already closed. A few are test alerts I set just to see how the notification looks. Whatever the reason, the process is the same.

Your Alert Manager on Desktop

The alert manager is your control panel. Click the alarm bell icon at the top-left of your chart, right above the price axis. That opens a panel with every active and past alert.

This screen shows you:

• Which condition triggers the alert.
• What symbol and timeframe it is tied to.
• Whether it is active or paused.

From here you can edit, pause, copy, search, sort, or delete any alert. If you use custom indicators, understanding how Pine Script v6 alerts work helps you build more targeted conditions.

Delete a Single Alert

From the Alerts Manager:

1. Click the bell icon at the top of your chart.
2. Find the alert in the list.
3. Click the trash icon next to it.
4. Confirm the deletion.

Why delete one at a time? You might want to keep similar alerts for other tickers. I keep an RSI divergence alert on SPY but delete the same setup on QQQ when that trade closes.

Directly from your chart:

• Double-click the alert flag on the chart to open the edit menu, then delete.
• Right-click the alert flag and choose delete from the shortcut menu.

What can go wrong: you double-click when you meant to right-click and open the edit panel instead. Not a big deal, just an extra click to close it.

Remove All Alerts at Once

Sometimes you want a clean slate. Your strategy changed, or your alert list is full of stale conditions.

1. Open the Alerts Manager.
2. Click the three-dot menu next to the "Add Alert" button.
3. Select "Remove All."
4. Confirm.

This deletes every active alert instantly. There is no undo. I used this after switching from a mean-reversion strategy to a trend-following one — none of the old price levels applied anymore.

What can go wrong: you accidentally remove alerts you still need. I have done this after a late-night trading session and had to recreate conditions from scratch. When in doubt, pause instead.

Pause and Resume Alerts

Pausing turns off notifications but keeps all your settings. I do this when I go on vacation or when a stock enters earnings blackout. The alert stays in your account, ready to resume.

1. Open the Alerts Manager.
2. Find the alert.
3. Click the pause button.
4. Click resume when you are ready.

I prefer pausing over deleting for alerts tied to a strategy I might revisit. Deleting means recreating the condition later. Pausing saves that work.

Remove Alerts from the Chart

Right-click the alert mark on the chart. A menu appears with a delete option. This works for price alerts where you see the horizontal dotted line on the chart.

Double-click the mark to open edit mode, with a delete button at the bottom.

I use this method most often because I am already looking at the chart. It is faster than opening the manager.

Delete Alerts on Mobile

Mobile works differently. Here is the fastest path:

1. Find the horizontal dotted line on your chart.
2. Tap and hold on that line.
3. Select "Delete."

The change syncs to your desktop and other devices immediately.

For indicator-based alerts that do not show a dotted line:

1. Tap the menu button.
2. Select "Alerts."
3. Find the alert and tap it.
4. Choose the delete option.

I find the mobile method less intuitive than desktop. If the dotted line does not appear, I go straight to the Alerts Manager — that works every time.

Alert Type	How to Find & Delete
Price Alert (set directly on the chart)	Tap and hold the dotted line on your chart.
Indicator Alert (set from an indicator)	Use the Alerts Manager in the main menu.

Alert Limits by Plan

Each TradingView plan caps how many alerts you can run at once. I hit the Plus limit — 200 alerts — twice last year when I was testing strategies on different timeframes.

Plan Type	Price Alerts	Indicator Alerts	Total Active Alerts
Essential	20	20	40
Plus	100	100	200
Premium	400	400	800

If you combine several conditions into one Pine Script, you can track multiple signals using a single alert slot. I have not tested this on Premium, but on the Plus plan it makes a real difference.

Keep Your Alert List Clean

Old alerts become noise. Here is what I do.

Name alerts clearly. "AAPL Breakout 950" tells me more than "Alert 12." When I scan the list I know instantly what to keep.

Review alerts weekly. I pick Friday afternoon. I check:

• Does this alert still match what I am trading?
• Is the price level still relevant?
• Am I actually responding to it, or ignoring it?

Pause instead of deleting when uncertain. I have re-enabled alerts from two months ago more than once. Pausing keeps that option open.

Common Questions

What happens when I delete an alert — is it permanent?

Yes. Once you confirm the delete, that alert is gone. No undo, no recycle bin. I have deleted alerts by accident before, so now I pause instead if I have any doubt.

Can I delete alerts on a free TradingView account?

Yes. Deleting works the same on free and paid plans. The only difference is the number of alerts you can keep active at once.

If I delete an alert on desktop, does it delete on mobile too?

Yes. TradingView syncs alerts across all devices where you are logged in. Delete it once and it is gone everywhere.

Why can I not find the delete option on mobile?

Indicator-based alerts do not show a dotted line on the chart, so the tap-and-hold method does not work. Open the Alerts Manager from the menu — you will see every alert there and can delete from the list.

What is the difference between pausing and deleting?

Pausing saves your settings and turns off notifications. Deleting removes everything. If you might need the same condition again, pause it. I pause alerts when a stock is in a blackout period and delete them only after I close the position.
