The examples teach workflow and risk framing. They do not provide trade recommendations, personalized advice, leverage guidance, or guaranteed outcomes.

Chapter 01

Alerts are for supported upcoming events

Trader question

Is this row eligible for an alert, or is it only planning and review context?

A useful alert starts with eligibility. Upcoming supported events can become a review queue; holidays, unsupported rows, and already released events should stay in context or audit mode.

Desk checklist

  • Confirm the event is upcoming.
  • Confirm alert availability.
  • Keep unsupported rows as context, not failed workflows.
