Users can be notified of triggered alerts via in-app notifications and/or emails. The default view when creating or editing an alert displays the notification settings by default and can be accessed at any time by clicking on “Notifications” in the alert menu sidebar.

​
Events

The event toggles determine which strategy events (long, short, exit long, exit short) trigger an in-app or email notification (if enabled).

​
Alert message

The alert message field determines the content that appears in the in-app notification or email.

​
Placeholders

Users might want to include dynamic data in their alert message, such as which strategy event triggered the alert or the strategy’s entry price. This is possible using placeholders. The syntax is [[placeholder_name]]. The following placeholders are available.

​
In-App Notifications

In-app notifications display small cards indicating an alert has been triggered. On desktop, they appear at the bottom-right of the screen; on mobile, at the bottom. Hovering over a card shows messages from older alerts. Removing a card displays the next oldest alert (if any) at the top of the list.
Users can edit alerts directly from the cards by clicking the gear icon in the bottom-right.

​
Emails

When a strategy alert is triggered, the user can receive an email at the address associated with their account. To receive emails, enable “Send email” in the Notifications settings at the bottom-right.
