How alerts work

The one condition

Alpha Sentinel sends one type of alert: downward momentum below its 4-hour moving average (a 50-period adaptive average of 4-hour prices). When a stock on your watchlist meets that condition, it is marked as having an open alert and the alert message shows how far the price sits below the 4-hour average.

There are no other alert types, no thresholds to set, and no per-member rules. The condition is evaluated by our alert service and the result is the same no matter who is watching the stock.

What you see with an alert

• The stock and the time the alert was sent.
• The distance from the 4-hour average, as a percentage.
• A snapshot of the figures recorded with the alert: price, 4-hour average, RSI and TTM Squeeze reading. They are shown for reference. This page does not describe how they are used, and nothing here asks you to act on them.

When an alert closes

An alert stays open for a minimum period after it opens. It returns to Quiet once the condition has cleared and been confirmed.

When it is checked

We do not publish a check schedule, and we do not promise continuous monitoring. A stock showing “No alert history yet” has no alert on record. That label is not a statement about whether or when it was last checked.

What an alert is not

• It is not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold.
• It is not an instruction to do anything.
• It is not a prediction of what a stock will do next.
• It does not execute trades or manage your watchlist.

Alerts can be delayed or missed

No open alert does not mean no risk. Alerts may be delayed or missed, and delivery depends on services we do not control. Verify figures with your broker or data vendor, and consult a qualified financial professional before making investment decisions. Decisions are yours.
