How to set sound alerts on your Android smart device for premarket or postmarket trading on TradingView

1. On the price chart, select a timeframe that is smaller than 1 day, such as 1 hour or 15 minutes. The price chart should now show 2 new vertical coloured bands that represent pre-market and post-market periods.

2. Add an alert, then:

> Settings > Symbols: ([ticker], Extended trading hours)

> Notifications > Send plain text to alternative email 

2.1 Note on email address to use:

User profile > Profile Settings > Private Details > Alternative email for alerts (edit this)

- insert a hotmail address (the hotmail app can detect incoming emails and trigger sound alerts on your smart device)

- don't use gmail address (the gmail app cant seem to achieve the same above)


3. If using gmail website:

Gear > See all settings > "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab > Create a new filter > From(noreply@tradingview.com) , Subject(Alert)

4. Label it, mark it as high priority/important

5. Select sound notification

6. Test


Setup hotmail (outlook.live.com/mail)

- Settings > General > Notifications > 

-- Notifications in outlook (on)

-- Notify me about Mail (on)

-- Play sound (on)


Setup hotmail app to trigger ringtone

- Outlook app > Settings > Notifications > 

-- Allow notifications (on)

-- From (All email) (Note: Outlook app doesn't have the function to send notification when email lands in a specific subfolder, so you'll have to make do with "all emails")

-- New email sound (SELECT YOUR MP3 HERE eg 20210307_Aiden.mp3 , RM_alarm.mp3)


Setup gmail app to trigger ringtone

Create your label: Gmail website > select correct account (xxx@gmail.com) > (see LHS panel) Create new label > name it "TradingView Alerts"

Define your target emails and assign them the label:  Gmail website > Settings > Filters and Blocked Addresses > Create a new filter > From (noreply@tradingview.com) & Subject(Alert) > Create Filter > ApplyTheLabel(TradingView Alerts) & NeverSendToSpam > CreateFilter

Receive any incoming emails and label as necessary: Gmail app > Settings > Select correct google account (xxx@gmail.com) > InboxNotifications (Notify Once) > SyncMessages(Last30days) & LabelNotifications(Yes) & NotifyForEveryMessage(No)

Let any Labelled Email trigger an Alert: Gmail app > Settings > Select correct google account (xxx@gmail.com) > ManageLabel > TradingView Alerts (Last30days) > Sync Messages (The previous 30days of messages will download when connected) > LabelNotifications(Tick YES) > NotifyForEveryMessage(play sound when each new message arrives)(Tick YES

Select Alert Sound: Gmail app > Settings > Select correct google account (xxx@gmail.com) > NotificationSounds > GoToDeviceSettings > AllowNotification(On) & GentleNotificaitons(off) & Banners(Off) & LockScreennotifications(Show) & AllowInterruptions(No) & NotificationSound > MusicOnDevice > Search for your file (___.mp3)

Let Gmail app keep receiving emails in background: AndroidDevice > Settings > Apps > App launch > Gmail(off) (flick to "on" then finally leave it as "off", and you'll see the subsequent menu) > Autolaunch(on) & SecondaryLaunch(on) & RunInBackground(ON)

- Test by sending TV alert to your email


Warnings/Disclaimers

We suspect the gmail hack works only for accounts identified as "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/". Alerts don't seem to trigger for accounts ending with ".../mail/u/0" or ".../mail/u/2" etc.

  • Select all images&vidclips on timeline:
    • Right-click > duration > transform>match height
    • Right-click > Duration > 3 seconds

On Track Video 1, select all images and vidclips. 

Hold CTRL and drag images&vidclips from Track(Video1) to Track(Video2). This will make a copy of images&vidclips onto NewPlane1, within TrackVideo2. 

Hit DELETE. This remove images&vidclips, and remaining is NewPlane1 with gaps, within TrackVideo2.

Select all of NewPlane1, then drag down vertically from TrackVideo2 to TrackVideo1. This will fill the gaps of images&vidclips in TrackVideo1 with NewPlane1.

Right-click on any part of NewPlane1 within TrackVideo1, then select "Ripple Delete Clip (Alt+Del)". This will remove bits of NewPlane1 within TrackVideo1, and make the bits of images&vidclips join together.

How to Stake the Solana token (SOL) via Phantom wallet

1. Go to https://stakeview.app/ . As you go down the rows, APY will fall gradually. U are looking for (a) highest "stake" amount (more staked, more safe); and (b) lowest commission (e.g. 0%). Take note of the validator name e.g. "Laine 0% Decentralized Low Stake - We ❤️ Solana". APY estimate is 7.25%  and staked amount is 679.9k SOL. You can click "website" in the same row to see some info about the validator.

2. Next, check the validator's detailed safety score at https://www.validators.app/?locale=en&network=mainnet&order=score&refresh=false

2a. Ensure "Score" button is highlighted (not the "Stake" button). Search the validator name. The search result shd show the score given by the website. Max score is 11. IMPORTANT: Ensure the validator doesn't have any associated warnings, as listed here https://www.validators.app/faq?locale=en&network=mainnet#score . If there are warnings, go back to StakeView.app and pick another validator further down the current row.

3a. Phantom wallet > Solana > click "..." button > Stake SOL > search for the validator i.e. "Laine ..." and select it > enter amount of SOL to stake (note: keep at least 0.01 SOL in your wallet to pay for transaction fees) > STAKE 

3b. Now u may have to wait for the current epoch to finish (this may take between 1 and ~65 hours) (during this time u will see the status "Activating") > Then, staking begins and reward is awarded after completion of each epoch (1 epoch is ~65 hours)

3c. Notes: (a) Validator can change the commission fee any time. If you notice that the reward received for a particular epoch is suddenly lower than expected, the validator could have recently raised the commission. It may be time to switch to a different validator.

3d: Range of statuses: Click "Stake SOL" > status "Activating" > status "Active" > click "Unstake" > status "Deactivating"> status "Inactive" > click "Withdraw Stake"
