summary: not every edgeful script update requires you to redo your alerts — here's how to tell the difference and what to do in each case.

it depends on the type of update.

minor updates (backend fixes, reporting adjustments): your alerts keep working. you don't need to touch anything. these updates don't change how the algo runs in real-time — they only affect things like the strategy tester or internal reporting.

major updates (new features, parameter changes, logic changes): you'll want to update your alerts so they reflect the latest version of the script. if the algo's behavior changed, your old alerts might not fire the way you expect.

so how do you know which type it is? we'll always communicate what changed — check the #new-features channel in Discord or the update notes when you see the purple update icon on your indicator.

1) open TradingView and load your chart with the edgeful indicator

2) if you see a purple circle with arrows on the indicator — click it. that applies the latest version to your chart

3) delete your old alert for that indicator

4) create a new alert using the updated indicator

that's it. the new alert will use the updated script logic automatically.

→ alert isn't firing after an update? check if you applied the script update first (the purple icon). then recreate the alert
→ not sure if the update is major or minor? check #new-features in Discord or reach out via the in-app chat
→ alert fired but the trade didn't go through? that's a different issue — see the alert execution troubleshooting article

→ minor/backend updates — your alerts keep working, no action needed
→ major updates — apply the update to your chart, then recreate your alerts
→ when in doubt, check Discord or ask support
