☕How "Advanced" mode work ?
A normal (Basic) indicator alert is one list of conditions plus one threshold: trigger when at least x of y conditions reach target. That is enough for "RSI over 70 and price over EMA200", but it cannot say:
trend must be up AND (RSI crosses 70 OR MACD crosses 0)
Advanced mode can. It lets you put your conditions into several groups and then combine the groups with All / Any / Custom K of N logic — and a group can contain other groups, so you can nest.
Advanced mode starts as a single group — exactly like the Basic screen — until you tap "Add Group".
Where to find it
Open Add Alert for an indicator alert. At the top of the screen there are two tabs:
The tabs appear only when you create a new alert, and only if Advanced mode is available for your app. If you do not see them, your version has it turned off — nothing is wrong with your settings.
When you edit an alert that already exists, the tabs are not shown. An alert keeps the mode it was created with; it cannot be converted later.
Switching tabs after you started filling in a tab asks: "Switching tabs will reset your progress on this tab. Continue?" — Continue clears that tab and opens the other one empty. Nothing is converted between the two tabs.
The two kinds of card
Advanced mode is built from cards. There are only two:
1. Group card — the same screen you already know
A group card is a small copy of the Basic screen:
Group name (optional)
Your own name for the group, e.g. Trend. Used in the summary line instead of "Group 1".
Trigger when at least x/y conditions reach target
The threshold of this group only.
− / +
Changes x, between 1 and the number of conditions in the group.
condition rows
Same rows as Basic: Must Meet, timeframe and Data Use when the alert uses MTF, edit and delete.
Add Condition
Opens the usual condition screen and adds the condition to this group.
🗑
Deletes this group (not shown on the first, outermost card).
Everything inside a group works exactly as in Basic mode, including Must Meet — see How "must meet" & "number conditions reach target" work ?.
2. Logic card — how the groups are combined
A logic card has no conditions of its own. It has a row:
All
Every group inside this card must be true (AND).
Any
At least one group inside must be true (OR).
Custom K of N…
Opens Match K of N groups — pick how many groups must be true. The chip then shows Custom: k/n.
Under the row sit the cards it combines — group cards, or more logic cards.
A logic card combines the cards below it. Here, either group is enough.
Building an alert step by step
Open Add Alert → tab Advanced. You get one empty group.
Add Condition twice → set the group's threshold with − / +.
Tap Add Group. What you already built is kept as the first group, and an empty second group appears next to it. The card around them becomes a logic card set to All.
Fill the second group, then set Match to All, Any, or Custom.
Need a group inside a group? Tap Add Group on that group's own card — it splits that card the same way, one level deeper.
Name the groups (optional) so the summary reads like your strategy.
Tap Add Alert.
Reading the summary line
Above the Add Alert button, the app writes your logic as one sentence and keeps it in sync while you edit:
Groups are numbered in the order they appear; a group with a name uses the name instead (shortened after 20 characters).
Brackets show the nesting, and each nesting level has its own colour so you can match the pairs by eye.
The same line is shown on the alert list, in the alert history (with which groups actually fired), and on a shared alert — so you can read the logic without opening the alert.
With only one group there is nothing to combine yet, so the line stays as the normal description text.
Example — trend filter plus two possible triggers
Wanted: the trend must be up, and either RSI or MACD must fire.
Logic (outer)
All
Group Trend
EMA50 Over EMA200, ADX Over 25 — threshold 2/2
Logic (inner)
Any
Group RSI
RSI(14) Cross Over 70 — threshold 1/1
Group MACD
MACD Cross Over 0 — threshold 1/1
Summary: Trend and (RSI or MACD)
Two levels of nesting: the outer card needs both sides, the inner card is happy with one of the two triggers.

Rules and limits
Advanced mode needs at least 2 groups. With a single group it asks you to add one, or to use Basic mode — a one-group Advanced alert is just a Basic alert with extra steps.
Every group needs at least 1 condition.
Inside a group, the threshold must be greater than or equal to the number of Must Meet conditions in that same group — the same rule as Basic mode, checked per group.
Conditions per group: up to the same limit as a Basic alert (20 by default). The limit counts per group, not per alert.
Groups per alert: up to 10 by default.
Nesting: 2 levels by default. When one more level is not allowed any more, the Add Group button disappears on that card instead of showing an error.
These three limits come from the server and can change without a new app version.
The outermost card has no name field and no delete button — it is the alert itself, not a group you can remove.
Mode is fixed once saved: you cannot turn a Basic alert into an Advanced one, or the other way around. Create a new alert instead.
All conditions of the alert share the alert's symbol, Global Timeframe and Calculation Mode, exactly as in Basic mode. Groups do not change those.
Good to know
Add Condition on a group that already has conditions opens the dialog pre-filled from that group's last condition, just like Basic mode — quick when you want the same indicator with another value.
Add Multi Alert works in Advanced mode too: it creates the same tree for several symbols at once.
🗑 deletes a group immediately, without asking — and it does not merge the cards back together. A logic card with only one group left is still a logic card, and the alert refuses to save until a second group is there.
"All" with thresholds inside the groups gives you two levels of counting: how many conditions inside a group and how many groups. Use Custom K of N when you want "any 2 of my 3 setups".
Nothing about Basic mode changed. Alerts you created before still open and behave exactly as before.
