# Alerts

> Momentum-based notifications for tokens and groups

Alerts notify you in Telegram when tokens gain momentum – no manual price targets needed. The bot monitors market cap movement and automatically sends alerts when a token makes a significant move.

## How Alerts Work

Rather than setting specific price or market cap thresholds, Quickscope's alert system is **momentum-based**. When a token's market cap rises sharply, the bot detects the movement and sends you a notification automatically.

    The bot monitors tokens for significant market cap increases. When momentum crosses its threshold, you get notified – no setup required per token.

  <Card title="Group-Wide or Personal" icon="users">
    Alerts can fire in group chats (visible to everyone) or in your DMs. Group admins control how sensitive the trigger is.

## Group Alert Settings (Admins)

Group admins can tune how alerts behave in their chats.

### Trigger Formula

```
/triggerformula [type]
```

Set how the bot calculates momentum triggers.

### Trigger Percent

```
/triggerpercent [%]
```

Set the percentage increase in market cap that triggers an alert. A higher value means only bigger moves fire notifications.

### Trigger Thresholds

```
/triggerthresholds [values]
```

Set specific market cap levels that trigger alerts when crossed.

## Scan Alerts

Get notified when tokens are scanned in your groups.

### Forward Scans

```
/forwardscans on
```

Forwards scans from groups to your DM for centralised tracking. Useful if you're in many groups and want everything in one place.

### Scan in Trade Menu (DM)

```
/scanistrademenudm on
```

When you scan a token in DM, automatically show the trade menu so you can act immediately.

## Notification Management

### Reducing Noise

If you're getting too many alerts:

1. **Raise trigger percent** – only fire on larger market cap moves
2. **Fewer groups** – limit which groups forward alerts to your DM
3. **Higher minimums** – filter out small-cap tokens that spike frequently

### Missing Alerts?

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Not receiving any alerts?">
    Check that the bot isn't muted in Telegram, verify your notification settings, and make sure the group's trigger formula and percent are configured.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Getting alerts but not the right ones?">
    Ask your group admin to adjust the trigger percent or thresholds. Higher values mean fewer, more significant alerts.
