Alerts are only useful when they are precise and actionable. If your settings are too broad, you waste attention. If they are too strict, you miss opportunities. This guide shows how to balance signal quality and speed.

1. Define the alert objective

• Entry alerts for buying below your target zone.
• Exit alerts for selling near your target net-profit zone.
• Spread alerts for arbitrage candidates between markets.

2. Use threshold ranges, not single prices

• Set acceptable ROI or spread ranges instead of exact values.
• Apply minimum liquidity conditions to avoid thin-book traps.
• Require confirmation signals for high-volatility items.

3. Reduce noise with grouping and cooldowns

• Group similar items to avoid duplicate alert spam.
• Use cooldown windows to prevent repeated low-value triggers.
• Separate high-priority alerts from watchlist-level notifications.

4. Connect alerts to execution rules

• Every alert should map to a defined next action.
• Set maximum order size and worst acceptable slippage.
• Track conversion rate from alert to completed trade.

5. Optimize alerts weekly

• Delete alert conditions that rarely convert to profitable trades.
• Tighten thresholds on high-noise item categories.
• Promote patterns that consistently produce net-positive outcomes.
