Exit alerts are automated price notifications that trigger when cryptocurrency reaches predetermined profit targets, removing emotion from the selling decision by prompting action at pre-planned levels. Rather than watching charts constantly or making impulsive decisions during volatility, traders set alerts when thinking clearly and execute their plan when emotions are high. Exit alerts are essential for systematic profit-taking because they ensure you're notified at critical decision points without obsessive monitoring.
Example:
You buy Bitcoin at $70,000 and immediately set exit alerts at $105,000 (50% gain, take 25%), $140,000 (100% gain, take 30%), and $175,000 (150% gain, take 25%). Months later, Bitcoin hits $105,000 during Asian trading hours while you're sleeping. You wake up to the alert, sell your planned 25%, and lock in profit on your position. Without the alert, you might have slept through the peak and missed your planned exit as Bitcoin corrected to $95,000 by morning. Exit alerts automate discipline and ensure you execute your strategy regardless of when opportunities arise.
