Alerts
Overview of Worldview's rule-based alert system — price, technical, and news triggers.
The Alerts section (/alerts) lets you define rule-based conditions that fire notifications when market conditions change. Alert rules are evaluated continuously and delivered via WebSocket in real time.
Alert types
| Type | Trigger | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Absolute price level | "AAPL crosses above $200" |
| Percent move | % change from any reference | "NVDA moves more than 5% in a day" |
| Technical | Indicator level or crossover | "SPY RSI drops below 30" |
| News | Keyword or entity mention | "Any news about 'Fed rate cut'" |
| Portfolio | Portfolio-wide P&L threshold | "My portfolio drops 3% in a day" |
Alert severity
Each rule has a severity you set when creating it:
| Severity | Color | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| LOW | Blue | In-app WebSocket banner (auto-dismisses in 30s) |
| MEDIUM | Amber | In-app WebSocket banner (auto-dismisses in 2 min) |
| HIGH | Orange | In-app WebSocket + email digest |
| CRITICAL | Red | In-app WebSocket (manual dismiss required) + immediate email |
Email delivery timing
HIGH severity alerts are delivered in the next hourly email digest, not immediately. CRITICAL alerts trigger an immediate email. Configure email preferences in Settings → Notifications.
Alert lifecycle
- Draft — rule created, not yet enabled
- Active — rule is enabled and being evaluated
- Triggered — condition was met; the alert fired
- Snoozed — temporarily paused (resumes after a set time)
- Disabled — rule exists but is not being evaluated
Triggered alerts remain in your alert history for 90 days.
Alert limits
| Plan | Active rules | Alert history |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 5 | 30 days |
| Pro | 50 | 90 days |
| Enterprise | Unlimited | 1 year |
