Alerts separation by type
According to resource requirements, all alerts are divided into 3 types: Price and Technicals and Watchlist.
(detailed lists of alerts related to each category are given at the end of the article).
Each type has a separate limit on the number of active alerts, for example, with this limit:
| Active price alerts | 400 |
| Active technical alerts | 400 |
| Active watchlist alerts | 5 |
You can run no more than 400 price alerts and no more than 400 technical + 5 watchlist ones (in this case, you can run 805 alerts in total).
The current limits for each plan can be seen on the GoPro page in the alerts section:
