Alerts

An alert watches the market and goes off when your condition is met. On its own it messages you on Discord. Attached to a workflow or task, it decides when that helper runs.

What alerts can watch

  • Price, like crossing a level or a big percent move.
  • Gamma and exposure, like the king node — the strike with the most dealer exposure — moving to a new price.
  • Options flow, like unusual volume and big trades.

When they run

  • Alerts check the market during market hours (about 9:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon, Eastern time). You can make that window smaller.
  • A max runs per day setting limits how many times it can drive a trade, so a busy signal cannot over trade your account.

Alerts and shared workflows

If you use someone's shared workflow, your copy uses the author's alert by default, so you trade on the same signal they do. You can also point your copy at your own alert without leaving. Your alert then messages you on your own window, while the copy keeps trading on the author's signal.

Manage alerts in the Alerts tab.
