Alerts FAQ

Questions about alerts.

These answers explain how the feature fits into a disciplined charting workflow, including the limits that matter when market information is used for research.

What is an Adaptive alert for?

An alert is intended to bring you back to a chart when a defined market condition deserves review. It should be treated as a prompt to inspect current context, not as a trade instruction or a substitute for analysis.

Can alerts be organized around the instruments I follow?

Yes. The alert workflow is designed to stay connected to the instrument and chart context that motivated the condition. That makes the notification more useful because you can return to the relevant market view instead of starting from a blank screen.

Will an alert always fire at exactly the expected moment?

Notification timing can depend on data availability, the condition being evaluated and the live product configuration. Alerts should therefore be used as a monitoring aid, not as the sole control for time-sensitive trading or risk decisions.
