How Alerts Work

Alerts let you receive email notifications when specific market conditions are met. Set a threshold, and when the market hits it, you get notified.

Quick Start

  1. Go to your Morning Dashboard
  2. Find the metric you want to track (e.g., 10 Yr yield)
  3. Click the + button in that row
  4. Set your condition (e.g., "> 5.00%")
  5. Click Create Alert

That's it. When the condition is met, you'll receive an email.

Alert Types

Yield Alerts

Monitor any Treasury tenor's yield level.

Examples: - "Notify me when the 10 Yr yield rises above 5.00%" - "Notify me when the 2 Yr yield falls below 4.00%"

Slope Alerts

Monitor the spread between two tenors (long minus short).

Examples: - "Notify me when the 10Y-3Mo spread falls below 0%" (inversion) - "Notify me when the 2s10s spread rises above 100 bps"

Level Alerts

Monitor the overall yield level (typically the long tenor).

Examples: - "Notify me when the level exceeds 4.50%"

How Credits Work

Alerts use a credit system:

  • 1 credit = 1 triggered alert
  • Credits are only consumed when your alert fires
  • Creating an alert does not cost credits
  • Credits never expire

Purchase credits from the Buy Credits page.

One-Shot Behavior

All alerts are one-shot:

  • When your condition is met, you receive an email
  • The alert is then automatically deleted
  • To monitor the same condition again, create a new alert

This design prevents alert fatigue from repeated notifications.

Evaluation Schedule

Alerts are evaluated daily after Treasury data is published:

  • Weekdays only (no weekend or holiday evaluations)
  • Uses the official Treasury rates published each afternoon
  • Alerts trigger based on the daily closing rates

Creating Alerts from the Dashboard

The easiest way to create alerts is from your Morning Dashboard:

  1. Each row in the Curve table has a + button
  2. Click it to open the alert creation modal
  3. The modal pre-fills with the current tenor and value
  4. Choose your condition and threshold
  5. Submit to create the alert

You can also create alerts from the Level & Slope section.

Managing Your Alerts

View and manage all your alerts at My Alerts:

  • See all active alerts and their conditions
  • Delete alerts you no longer need
  • View your alert history (triggered alerts)

Tips

  • Set realistic thresholds - Check the current value before setting your threshold
  • Use z-scores for relative alerts - Z-scores tell you how unusual a value is relative to history
  • Monitor inversions - Slope alerts with threshold < 0 catch yield curve inversions
