Start with a rule you can explain in one sentence. Build it, check what was saved, and only then add more. The lessons use illustrative values so you can learn the controls without treating an example as a market recommendation.
Your first complete alert
Follow Create your first price alert to open the editor, build a price crossing and save it.
Follow Set alert timing, expiration and active hours to choose how often it may fire and how long it lives.
Follow Choose where your alert arrives to connect the destination you actually use.
Follow Review the alert log and find why an alert stayed quiet to check an event and chase a missing notification.
Those four lessons are the whole workflow. You do not need the advanced features to use alerts well.

Add 4CM-AI forecast conditions
4CM-AI forecast conditions come with every active membership, the trial as well. They work on symbols that have a 4CastMachine AI forecast and on the markets your plan includes. If the 4CM-AI source is greyed out for you, its tooltip says why.
Begin with forecast-change alerts, then forecast-zone alerts, and finish with multi-timeframe forecast alerts, which combine forecast rows with ordinary technical rows in one alert.
How each lesson works
Read the goal and the example first. Follow the numbered steps beside the annotated screenshot. Check the expected result before you try a variation. Each lesson ends with what to do when your screen behaves differently.
Every page in this collection carries the guide tree, so you can open another branch at any time, and Previous and Next take you through the lessons in reading order.
If you already know the basics, the Quick tour covers every decision in one page.
