How to set up alerts for the events and markets you trade
To stay ahead of the markets you trade, set price and news alerts on the assets and events that move them — so you act on a move instead of discovering it hours later. The practical setup: charting/alert software for crypto and macro, the platform's own notifications for market moves, and a watchlist focused on a few markets rather than everything. Here's how to build an alert system that catches the moves that matter.

Alert the drivers, not just the outcome
Many event outcomes move with an underlying asset or data release — crypto prices, rates, a poll, an earnings date. Set alerts on those drivers in charting software so you're warned before the event market fully reprices. A Bitcoin breakout, for instance, often moves crypto-related event contracts.
Use a focused watchlist
Alerts only help if they're not noise. Pick a handful of markets you actually trade and set meaningful thresholds (a 5–10 point probability move, a key price level) rather than alerting on every tick. Fewer, sharper alerts beat a flood you'll learn to ignore.
Combine tools and platform notifications
Use charting/alert software for assets and macro, turn on the prediction platform's own move notifications, and (on WeeBet) watch the Odds Desk for cross-platform gaps. Layer them so a real move reaches you on at least one channel you check.
FAQ
What should I set alerts on?
On the drivers of the markets you trade — the underlying crypto price, a macro level, a data release or poll — plus the market's own probability moves. Alerting on the drivers warns you before the event contract fully reprices.
How do I avoid alert overload?
Keep a focused watchlist and set meaningful thresholds (a key price level or a 5–10 point probability swing) instead of alerting on every move. Sharp, infrequent alerts get acted on; noisy ones get muted.
Where can I see cross-platform odds moves?
WeeBet's Odds Desk tracks markets across platforms and surfaces gaps and movers, so you can spot when one venue lags another. Pair it with charting alerts on the underlying assets.
