A walkthrough of every screen that matters — install, permissions, your first price target, and the settings that keep alerts ringing.
Chapter 01
Find SkaleTrade on Google Play and install it on your Android phone.
Step 1
Open the Google Play Store on your Android phone. Tap the search field and type skaletrade — one word, all lowercase. You do not need a publisher name yet. The correct listing is easier to recognise on the next screen.
Type skaletrade
One word, all lowercase. Then tap the query in the list, or the search icon.
Select the query
If it already sits in your search history, tap that row to run it immediately.
Step 2
Several similarly named apps appear. Scroll to Skale Trade, published by Skaleway, in the Finance category. The mark is two offset blue bars. Ignore lookalikes with a similar name.
Confirm the publisher reads Skaleway before you tap through. That is the official listing.
Tap Skale Trade
Skaleway · Finance. Two offset blue bars on a light square.
Step 3
Confirm the name, the Skaleway publisher, and the blue mark, then tap Install. When Play Store finishes, open SkaleTrade from this listing or from your home screen.
Confirm the publisher
The listing should read Skale Trade (Beta) by Skaleway.
Tap Install
Android handles the download. Open the app when it completes.
Chapter 02
Grant the two permissions that let a price hit interrupt you, even in another app.
Step 4
The first prompt is from Android, not the app. Tap Allow. This is what lets an alert reach you at all — without it, a price hit stays silent on the lock screen.
If you tap Don’t allow by mistake, you can restore notifications later in Settings → Push Notifications.
Tap Allow
This is the permission that delivers every price alert to this phone.
Step 5
SkaleTrade then asks to display alerts over other apps when a full-screen interrupt is unavailable. Tap Enable. Android will open the system settings screen next — that is expected.
Tap Enable
Opens Android settings so you can allow display over other apps.
Step 6
The switch starts off. Tap it so Allow display over other apps turns on, then use the back arrow to return to SkaleTrade. This is the step most people skip, and the one that decides whether an alert can break through while you are in another app.
Leave this off and alerts fall back to a standard notification — easy to miss with the phone in a pocket or face-down.
Flip the switch on
It starts off. Turn it on, then tap the back arrow to return to the app.
Chapter 03
Sign in, pick a pair, and set a target so the phone can ring when the market arrives.
Step 7
Use the email and password you created on the web, or continue with Google. If you do not have an account yet, tap Sign up at the bottom. The same account powers the phone app and the web dashboard.
Enter your account
Username or email, then password. Same credentials as the web app.
Or continue with Google
Use the Google account tied to your SkaleTrade profile.

Create an account in the app, or on the web at skaletrade.com/signup.
Step 8
Home shows Active Alerts at zero until you create one. The Live badge means the price feed is connected. Tap the blue plus in the corner to set your first alert — that is the only action you need on this screen.
Active alerts
Stays at zero until you create a target. Triggered today counts hits since midnight.
Tap plus
Opens the pair picker so you can create your first price alert.
Step 9
Search by name, or filter by FX, Commodity, or Crypto. Tap a row to continue. Star a pair you watch often so it appears under Favorites the next time you open this sheet.
Search symbols
Type Gold, EURUSD, or BTCUSD to jump straight to a pair.
Filter the list
All, Favorites, FX, Commodity, or Crypto. 128 symbols in the full catalog.
Step 10
Choose Price Above or Price Below, then enter the exact target. An optional custom message appears on the interrupt when it fires. Tap Create Alert when the number looks right.
Use the pair’s native precision. Gold, for example, accepts fractional dollars — match the market, not a round number you will never print.
Choose direction
Price Above rings when the market trades through your target from below. Price Below is the inverse.
Enter the target
This is the price that fires the interrupt. Leave custom message blank if the pair name is enough.
Create Alert
Saves the alert as Active and returns you to Home.
Chapter 04
Update or pause alerts, read history, and finish setup in Settings.
Step 11
Open any active alert to confirm the target, direction, and status. Update the price if the market has moved. Deactivate pauses notifications without deleting the alert. Delete removes it for good.
Confirm the target
The condition sits under the price — above or below — so you can audit it at a glance.
Update, pause, or delete
Deactivate is the safe pause. Delete is permanent.
Step 12
History is the log of every trigger. A green arrow means the price went above your target. A red arrow means it went below. Search by pair when the list gets long, and pull to refresh if a recent hit is missing.
Search a pair
Filter the log when you are tracking more than a handful of symbols.
A fired alert
Direction, target, and relative time. Triggered means the interrupt was delivered.
Step 13
Check that Push Notifications reads Enabled (overlay) and that the background service is running. From here you can manage your plan, join a room with an invite code, or review Pro Trader access if you create rooms of your own.
If alerts go quiet after a few hours, return here first. The overlay toggle is the fastest health check.
Account and billing
Manage your plan, invoices, and Pro Trader access from this group.
Join a room
Paste an invite code from a Pro Trader to receive their execution alerts.
Keep overlay on
Enabled (overlay) plus a running background service is the healthy state.
Most missed alerts come down to one permission or a battery setting. Start here before you reinstall.
The same login works on the web dashboard and on Android. Set a target once, and the phone will ring when the market arrives.
