Set email notifications for when yields, slopes, or levels cross your thresholds. Alerts fire once and consume one credit when triggered.

Alert Types

  • Curve — notifies when a specific tenor's yield crosses above or below your threshold (e.g., "10 Yr yield above 4.50%")
  • Level — notifies when the overall yield level crosses your threshold
  • Slope — notifies when the yield curve slope (long minus short tenor) crosses your threshold (e.g., "10Y-3Mo spread below 0%")

How to Create Alerts

  • use the + button next to any row in the Curve or Level & Slope tables
  • select the direction (above / below) and enter a threshold
  • alerts are evaluated daily after Treasury data is published

Notes

  • one credit is consumed each time an alert fires
  • triggered alerts are automatically deleted (one-shot)
  • purchase credits via Buy Credits in your account
  • manage existing alerts via My Alerts in your account

Use Cases

  • get notified when yields reach attractive entry points
  • monitor yield curve inversions or steepening
  • set price alerts for specific Treasury tenors
How Alerts Work yieldcurve.pro

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.
