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.

Alert bell becomes a review checklist
A bell icon stops being a signal and unfolds into prepare, release, and review tasks.
A single alert bell appears beside an upcoming release.
The bell separates into reminder, release, and review markers.
A checklist replaces the bell.
The final label says queue marker, not trade call.

Alerts are for supported upcoming events
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.
Alert availability, event lifecycle, supported events, and alerts locked state
- Confirm the event is upcoming.
- Confirm alert availability.
- Keep unsupported rows as context, not failed workflows.
Chapter 02
Reminder alerts create prep time
How much preparation time do I need before this release enters the live session?
Reminder minutes are for prep, not prediction. A 15, 30, or 60 minute reminder should route the desk to forecast, previous, liquidity, adjacent tools, and caveat checks.
Reminder enabled toggle and 15, 30, 60 minute chips
- Pick a prep window intentionally.
- Use the reminder to review source fields.
- Avoid treating the reminder as urgency to enter.
Chapter 03
Release alerts create review time
What should I inspect after the actual print lands?
Notify on release should route the learner to review actual versus forecast, previous and revisions, coverage quality, and the matching reaction window after it exists.
Notify on release, event detail, actual/forecast/previous, and reaction window completion
- Wait for the actual print.
- Read actual, forecast, previous, and revisions.
- Compare only after the selected reaction window exists.
Chapter 04
Telegram is a delivery channel
Does a Telegram alert change the evidence, or only where the reminder arrives?
Telegram delivery can make the routine harder to miss, but it does not make the release more important, the sample stronger, or the reaction more predictable.
Telegram enabled toggle, alert delivery channel, and alert status badge
- Separate delivery from conviction.
- Keep evidence checks unchanged.
- Do not escalate language because a message arrived elsewhere.
Chapter 05
Recent alert events show whether the routine fired
Did the reminder, release alert, or delivery channel actually run when expected?
Recent alert events are an audit trail. They tell the learner whether the routine fired and what should be reviewed next, not whether the market should move.
Save alert, recent alert events, alert delivery state, and plan gate
- Check whether the alert saved.
- Check whether reminder and release rows appeared.
- Treat missing rows as routine issues, not market messages.
Chapter 06
Convert one alert into a review checklist
What changed versus forecast and previous, and what must I caveat before handoff?
The best alert resolves into a checklist: actual versus forecast, previous revisions, coverage/sample quality, completed reaction window, and one explicit caveat.
Post-release checklist, desk note field, release ledger, coverage gate, and reaction window context
- Complete the release ledger checks.
- Downgrade weak coverage or incomplete windows.
- Write the caveat before the summary.
