Understanding Your Alert Feed

Learn how to read the Recent Alerts card, expand long messages, and understand when each alert fired.

What the Recent Alerts Section Shows

The Recent Alerts section on your dashboard gives you a fast overview of the latest trade signals and notifications generated for your account. Each alert appears as a card row with the core message on the left and a friendly "time ago" label on the right, so you can instantly see what happened and when.

Expanding Long Messages

Short alerts are shown in full, while longer messages are neatly truncated to keep the dashboard readable. If a message is cut off, you'll see a subtle expand icon you can click to reveal the entire text. Click again to collapse it, making it easy to scan through multiple alerts without losing context.

Understanding Time Labels

The time label uses human-friendly wording such as "Just now," "5 minutes ago," or "2 days ago" instead of raw timestamps. This is calculated by comparing the alert's creation time with your current time, so you always know how fresh each signal really is when you're reviewing the feed.

Empty State and History

When your account is new or no signals have triggered yet, the alerts card will show an empty state with guidance instead of a blank panel. As your alerts, AI signals, and WhatsApp notifications fire over time, this feed becomes a powerful history of what the system has been watching and how often your conditions are being met.
