Most people watch ETH the hard way: open the chart, refresh, close it, open it again ten minutes later. That's not analysis — that's a nervous habit. Here's how to replace it with one alert that pings your Telegram and lets you walk away.
Why Telegram beats an exchange app notification
Exchange alerts are fine until you have three exchanges. Then you have three apps, three notification settings, and no single place where your alerts live. Telegram is already open on your phone, it's the same app you use for your trading groups, and a message there is impossible to miss the way a muted app badge is.
What you actually want to be alerted about
A single "ETH hits $3,000" alert is weak. Price passes a round number all the time and nothing happens. What matters is the band — the level where you'd buy, and the level where you'd take something off. So you want a rule with two sides:
ETH < 2800 OR ETH > 3400
One alert, two decisions. Below 2,800 you're interested in adding. Above 3,400 you're interested in trimming. Anywhere in between, there is nothing for you to do, and you shouldn't be looking at the chart at all.
Setting it up in two minutes
- Go to doneroad.com and create a free account — no card, nothing to install.
- Pick ETH from the asset list.
- Add your first condition: price below 2800.
- Click "OR" and add the second: price above 3400.
- Read the plain-English preview. It should say exactly what you meant. If it doesn't, the rule is wrong — fix it now, not at 3am.
- Connect Telegram, hit save. Done.
Going further: conditions that combine assets
Because conditions are AND/OR blocks, you aren't limited to one coin. A few that people actually use:
ETH < 2800 AND BTC < 78000— only alert me if the whole market is down, not just ETH.ETH > 3400 OR SOL > 220— watch two positions with one rule.GOLD > 2700 AND ETH < 2800— risk-off signal plus an entry level.
A note on discipline
The point of an alert isn't to catch every move. It's to decide in advance, while you're calm, what price would make you act — and then stop staring. If you find yourself checking the chart anyway after setting an alert, the alert isn't the problem; the position size probably is.
