Price alerts let you monitor Pacifica markets passively without watching charts. Set a target price for any of the 63 available perpetual markets, choose whether to trigger when the mark price moves above or below your target, and Pacifica Lens will fire a browser notification the moment the condition is met.
Price alerts are available in guest mode — you do not need to connect a wallet to create or manage alerts.

​
Creating an alert

1

Navigate to Price Alerts

Click Price Alerts in the main navigation, or go to Portfolio and select the Price Alerts tab. Both views share the same alert state.
2

Select a market

Open the Symbol dropdown and choose from any of the 63 Pacifica perpetual markets. The current mark price for the selected market appears next to the Target Price label so you have a reference point.
3

Choose a trigger direction

Select Above to trigger when the price rises to or above your target, or Below to trigger when the price falls to or below your target. The button highlights green for Above and red for Below.
4

Enter the target price

Type your target price in the Target Price field. You can press Enter or click + Add Alert to save the alert.
5

Enable browser notifications

Click the Notifications Off toggle in the top-right corner of the alerts panel. Your browser will prompt you to grant notification permission. After you allow it, Pacifica Lens sends a confirmation notification and the toggle switches to Notifications On. Alerts fire immediately when a price condition is met on the next price check.

​
Managing alerts

All active alerts appear in the Active section below the creation form. Each row displays the market, the trigger direction and price, the current mark price, and how far away the market is from your target as a percentage.
  • Enable or disable an alert using the toggle on the right side of the row. Disabling an alert pauses it without deleting it — the alert resumes checking prices when you re-enable it. Re-enabling also resets the triggered state, so a previously triggered alert can fire again.
  • Delete an alert by clicking the × button on its row.
Alerts that have already fired move to the Triggered section, where they are shown at reduced opacity. Remove a triggered alert by clicking Remove.

​
Browser notifications

When you enable notifications, your browser displays a permission prompt the first time. You must click Allow for notifications to work. If you click Block, you will need to reset the permission in your browser settings before Pacifica Lens can request it again. Once granted, notifications appear as standard OS-level browser notifications. Each notification shows the market symbol, the trigger direction, your target price, and the current mark price at the moment of the trigger. Notifications appear even if you have Pacifica Lens in a background tab, as long as the tab is still open. If you disable notifications using the toggle inside Pacifica Lens, the browser permission remains intact — you can re-enable notifications at any time without another permission prompt.

​
Persistence across sessions

Alerts are saved in your browser’s local storage automatically. They persist across browser restarts and page reloads without any account or wallet connection required. Prices are checked every time the market data refreshes (approximately every 30 seconds). If the mark price has crossed your threshold between checks, the alert triggers on the next refresh cycle.
Use price alerts alongside the Risk Manager to monitor the levels that matter most to your trades. Set an alert at your intended stop-loss price so you receive an immediate notification if the market approaches your risk limit, giving you time to act before your position is at risk of liquidation.
