Why Price Alerts Matter

Prediction markets move quickly—probabilities can shift 10-15% in minutes following breaking news. Manual monitoring is impossible. Automated price alerts ensure you never miss profitable entry or exit opportunities.

Types of Price Alerts

Threshold Alerts

Trigger when market probability crosses a specific level. Example: Alert when Bitcoin $100K probability exceeds 65%.

Movement Alerts

Notify when probability changes by a set percentage within a timeframe. Example: Alert on any 5%+ shift within 30 minutes.

Whale Alerts

Trigger when large trades (>$50K) execute, signaling potential major moves.

Multi-Market Alerts

Monitor correlations across related markets and alert when divergences create arbitrage opportunities.

Setting Effective Alerts

Strategic alert configuration maximizes signal-to-noise ratio:

Define Clear Entry Points — Set alerts at probability levels where your analysis suggests value
Use Percentage Bands — Create multiple alerts (e.g., 45%, 50%, 55%) to track progression
Time-Bound Alerts — Focus on markets with upcoming catalysts (earnings, elections, sports events)
Volume Filters — Only alert when sufficient liquidity exists for meaningful positions

Real-World Alert Examples

Political Markets

Set alerts at 52%, 57%, and 62% for presidential candidate probability. Review new information when first alert triggers.

Sports Betting

Alert for NBA Championship market when probability drops below 15%. Breaking injury news triggers alert, enabling capture of temporary overreaction.

Economic Events

Monitor Fed rate decision market with movement alert for any 8%+ shift. Alert triggers within 90 seconds on unexpected hawkish comments.

Advanced Alert Strategies

Combination Alerts

Trigger only when multiple conditions are met. Example: Alert when Bitcoin probability >70% AND whale activity increases AND volume exceeds $2M.

Divergence Alerts

Monitor related markets for probability disconnects. Example: Alert when Super Bowl winner probability deviates from Conference Winner probabilities.

Time-Decay Alerts

As event dates approach, alert thresholds tighten to capture accelerating price discovery.
