Alerts

Be notified when the conditions you care about hit. Multi-channel (email, push, in-app), digest-by-default, with built-in fatigue caps.

What it does

• 8 alert types: price, confluence, structure event, candle pattern, zone, earnings, news, reconciliation drift.
• 4 channels: email (digest), in-app inbox, push, SMS (security only).
• Daily-digest default with per-symbol caps and a confluence floor.
• Optional real-time stream when enabled by the current plan catalog.

How to access

• /alerts for the inbox + subscriptions list.
• /settings/notifications for channel + cadence preferences.
• Top-nav bell for quick unread access.

Key controls

Subscription form

Each subscription has:

• Symbol — single ticker or watchlist.
• Type — price level, confluence threshold, structure event, etc.
• Direction — bull / bear / both.
• Threshold — depends on type (e.g. confluence ≥ 0.7).
• Channels — pick any combination.
• Cadence — digest (daily) or real-time when enabled by the current plan catalog.

Quiet hours

Global setting: don't deliver alerts between e.g. 10 PM and 6 AM. Deferred alerts batch into the next available window.

Fatigue caps

Defaults you can override:

• 5 alerts per symbol per day
• Confluence ≥ 0.7 for confluence alerts
• Daily digest by default; real-time toggle follows the current plan catalog with explicit "this will be loud" warning

Common workflows

"Daily 6 AM summary of my watchlist"

1. /alerts → New subscription.
2. Symbol = your full watchlist.
3. Type = confluence, threshold 0.7, both directions.
4. Channels = email digest.
5. Save. First digest arrives next morning.

"Push me when AAPL breaks $190"

1. New subscription, symbol = AAPL.
2. Type = price, level = $190.
3. Direction = bull (cross-up).
4. Channels = push.
5. Save.

"Only the rarest setups"

1. New subscription, symbol = watchlist.
2. Type = confluence, threshold = 0.85 (above 3-of-3 typical).
3. Channels = push + email.
4. Save.

This produces ~1-3 alerts/week for an active watchlist. The 3-of-3 combos at 0.85+ are the highest-evidence setups in the system.

"I'm getting too many alerts"

1. /settings/notifications → raise the confluence floor to 0.8.
2. Lower the per-symbol cap to 3/day.
3. Switch from real-time to daily digest.

Tips & best practices

• Start with daily digest. Once you trust the signal quality, dial in real-time on specific high-conviction subscriptions.
• Don't subscribe to every symbol — you'll drown. Watchlists exist to focus the alert engine.
• Use dismiss liberally. Dismissed alerts don't reappear for 24h on the same symbol/type.

Troubleshooting

• Digest not arriving — check spam; whitelist [email protected].
• Push delivery slow — APNs/FCM 30s SLA; if consistently slow, re-register the device under Settings → Devices.
• Same alert firing twice — should never happen (we dedup on signal_id); if it does, screenshot + email support.
