Notifications
In-app history for alerts, trade ideas, and commentary
The Notifications inbox is the paper trail inside the browser for things your Custom Alerts already fired on: matching option prints, new Trade Ideas, and new Market Commentary posts. Email, SMS, Slack, Discord, push, and webhooks are parallel channels—they can carry the same event when you enable them. The inbox is for when you want a scrollable history on the site without digging through email threads.
Use it to answer: “What triggered, when, and under which rule?”—then open the underlying symbol or feed if you need more context.
Availability: Active paid subscription required to open the inbox (same gating as other subscriber features in the app—not limited to Terminal users).
Open the inbox
- Web: Sign in and open Notifications. Depending on the build, you may reach it from a bell, activity, or alerts entry in the main navigation.
Items are sorted newest first and paginated so long histories stay responsive.
What you will see
Each row ties back to one alert rule you created and summarizes what matched at trigger time:
| Source | Typical content |
|---|---|
| Option alert | Symbol, contract context, premium, unusual score—matching Custom Alerts |
| Trade idea | Symbol, direction, strategy, levels—matching Trade Ideas |
| Market commentary | Headline, category, severity, symbols—matching Market Commentary |
Unread items are highlighted until you mark them read.
Mark as read
Use the mark read action on an item to clear its unread highlight. That only changes your view in the inbox—it does not unsend an email, retract a webhook, or delete a message that already left the platform on another channel.
Browser (live) updates
While you are on the site, the app can refresh the notification list in the background (no full page reload) when new items arrive, in addition to whatever channels you enabled on the alert.

If something looks wrong (duplicate fires, missing push), check cooldown on the alert and that the channel toggles are saved on the alert form.
