Recent Alerts on the Dashboard: Your Rule Triggers, In One Place

Why Alerts Need a Central View

Once you've set up a few rule-based alerts — a price threshold here, a volume spike there, a trade-alert subscription on a portfolio you follow — the individual emails, push notifications, and webhook hits stop scaling. You need a single surface where *every* rule-driven event lands, chronologically, with the context to decide which ones need action now and which can wait. Email inboxes are worse than this because you can't differentiate a time-sensitive price break from a slow-burn sentiment shift by subject line alone.

What the Recent Alerts Card Shows

The Recent Alerts card consolidates every triggered alert from the past 48 hours: Price Alerts, Trade Alerts, portfolio webhook hits, volume-spike alerts, and regime-change events. Each row shows the alert name, trigger condition, ticker(s) affected, timestamp, and whether it's been acknowledged. Unacknowledged alerts are visually prioritized; clicking one takes you to the underlying page where the alert was configured so you can tune or disable it.

Preventing Alert Fatigue

Three rules keep this surface useful. First, if an alert fires more than three times a week and you don't act on it, the rule is wrong — either the threshold is too loose or the condition isn't what you actually want to be paged about. Tune or delete. Second, acknowledge proactively — unacknowledged alerts pile up and the pile itself becomes invisible; clear the queue daily. Third, differentiate tiers — urgent (price/volume spikes during market hours) vs informational (sentiment shift, weekly review) alerts should trigger differently; configure webhook vs in-app accordingly.

Where It Fits

Recent Alerts is the triage layer above every rules surface: Price Alerts, Trade Alerts, and portfolio Webhook Alerts. Pair with Cockpit Overview for the always-visible event stream alongside your trade list.
