How To Customize Your Notifications

In Options Auto Trader, you have full control over the notifications you receive about your trades and the performance of your auto traders. You can choose how often you receive updates and even decide whether to receive notifications about specific trade events. This article will guide you through how to customize your notification settings to suit your preferences.

Step 1: Types of Notifications

There are two main types of notifications that Options Auto Trader sends:

1. Performance Emails: These emails provide an overview of your auto trader's performance, including trade statistics and performance updates.
2. Trade Notifications: These are real-time notifications that alert you about key events related to your trades, such as entries, exits, and updates.

Step 2: Customizing Performance Emails

By default, you will receive weekly performance emails with a summary of your auto trader’s activity. However, you can change the frequency of these emails or turn them off entirely.

To customize your performance email frequency:

1. Log into your Options Auto Trader account.
2. Click on your profile image in the top-right corner of the page.
3. Select Profile from the dropdown menu.

4. Scroll down to the Software Settings section.

   Under Performance Email Frequency, choose from the following options:

   • Daily: Receive a daily summary of your auto trader’s performance.
   • Weekly (default): Receive a weekly summary.
   • Never: Disable performance emails entirely.
5. Save your changes.

By adjusting the frequency, you can stay informed about your auto trader’s performance based on how often you want to receive updates.

Step 3: Customizing Trade Notifications

Options Auto Trader sends notifications to keep you updated on your trades, including when a trade is entered, exited, or updated. If you prefer fewer notifications, you can disable these updates and only receive notifications if something goes wrong, such as a failed trade execution or error.

To customize trade notifications:

1. Log into your Options Auto Trader account.
2. Click on your profile image and select Profile from the dropdown.
3. Scroll down to the Software Settings section.

4. Look for the Trade Notifications setting.

   Choose from the following options:

   • Enable All Notifications: Receive notifications about every trade action (entries, exits, updates, etc.).
   • Critical Alerts Only: Disable trade updates but receive notifications only if something goes wrong (e.g., trade failures or errors).
5. Save your changes.

Customizing trade notifications can help you reduce distractions and only stay informed about the most important events.

Step 4: Save and Monitor Your Changes

After customizing your notification settings:

1. Double-check that you’ve selected your desired notification preferences.
2. Save your settings to ensure the changes take effect.
3. You can always revisit the Profile Settings page if you want to adjust the notification settings in the future.

Conclusion

Customizing your notifications in Options Auto Trader allows you to stay updated in a way that fits your preferences and trading style. Whether you want frequent performance updates or prefer to be notified only when critical events occur, you can easily adjust these settings in your profile.
