Screener Alerts and Retirement
What changes for existing Screener alerts before Strategy Screener retires on November 14, 2026.
Strategy Screener and its alerts retire on November 14, 2026. New Screener alerts are no longer available. Create new alerts in Vela using Price Alerts or Custom Alerts.
Screener alerts are the older alerts made from Strategy Screener results. They follow a saved toolkit strategy's long entries, short entries and exits. They are separate from the Price Alerts and Custom Alerts in the chart's Alerts panel.
Existing alerts
Open Alerts in the app's main sidebar to find the legacy Screener alerts list. Review existing alerts and their notification settings there. Existing Screener alerts continue until the retirement date, subject to their status and your plan.
Do not treat a Screener alert as a Custom Alert or assume its destinations and settings have moved to the new system.
Set up your replacement
- Review the condition, market and timeframe of the Screener alert you want to replace.
- Open Vela and ask Quant, our coding agent, to build or backtest the strategy or set up a matching alert condition.
- Review the resulting code, condition and historical preview. Confirm that they match what you want to watch.
- Create the Custom Alert and select its destinations. If you use automation, configure and test the new webhook message too.
- Confirm that the new alert is Live. Pause the old alert if you no longer want duplicate notifications before retirement.
For a simple price level, use a Price Alert instead. See Creating Alerts.
