Dashboard Alert Feature - User Guide

📋 What is Dashboard Alert?

Dashboard Alert is an automated notification system that sends you regular updates about your trading bot's performance directly to your Discord or Telegram. Think of it as a "health check" message from your bot, letting you know everything is running smoothly and keeping you informed about your trades.

💡 Pro Tips

Tip 1: Set Up a Dedicated Channel

Create a separate Discord channel or Telegram chat just for bot alerts to keep them organized.

Tip 2: Check Alerts Daily

Make it a habit to review your daily alerts. Look for:

Consistent profits
Win rate trends
Number of active trades

Tip 3: Watch Market Sentiment

If market sentiment is "BEARISH" or "NEGATIVE", expect fewer trades or lower profits - this is normal!

Tip 4: Monitor Active Trades

Keep an eye on how many trades are running. Too many might mean high exposure, too few might mean missed opportunities.

Tip 5: Use Multiple Devices

Set up both Discord (desktop) and Telegram (mobile) so you can check from anywhere.

❓ Common Questions

Q: Can I change how often I get alerts?
A: Yes! Your bot administrator can adjust the interval from 30 minutes to several hours.

Q: Will I get alerts if the bot stops working?
A: If the bot crashes, alerts will stop. No alert = potential issue. This is actually a useful indicator!

Q: Can multiple people receive the same alerts?
A: Yes! Everyone in your Discord channel or Telegram chat will see the updates.

Q: What if I'm getting too many notifications?
A: You can:

Mute the Discord channel/Telegram chat
Adjust notification settings on your device
Ask to increase the alert interval to 2-4 hours

Q: Is my account information safe?
A: Alerts show balances and trades but never show API keys, passwords, or other sensitive credentials.
