Hawk Alerts — Proactive Coaching

Hawk Alerts — Proactive Coaching

Hawk Alerts is the most advanced level of AI Hawk coaching. Instead of waiting for you to open the app, review your patterns, or ask a question in Hawk Chat, the AI reaches out to you proactively. It monitors your trading in the background and sends notifications when it detects something that needs your attention. Think of it as having a personal trading coach watching over your shoulder — except without the awkwardness.

Availability

Hawk Alerts is available exclusively on the Advanced plan. This feature requires real-time monitoring and AI processing, which is why it is reserved for the highest-tier subscription.

Types of Alerts

AI Hawk can send you several types of proactive notifications:

Pattern Worsening Alerts

If a detected behavioral pattern is getting worse over time, Hawk sends you a notification. For example:

  1. "Your revenge trading increased 40% this week compared to last week. You took 7 revenge trades costing a total of $520. Your most common trigger was losing a BTC trade — consider implementing a mandatory 30-minute cooldown after BTC losses."
  2. "Your overtrading pattern on Fridays has returned. You averaged 12 trades on the last 3 Fridays, compared to your weekday average of 5. Friday excess trades lost $340 combined."

Rule Violation Alerts

When you violate a strategy rule (especially a high-importance 4-5 star rule), Hawk can notify you. This is particularly powerful for rules you break repeatedly:

  1. "You broke your 'no trading after 21:00' rule 3 times this week. Trades taken after 21:00 had a 25% win rate vs. your overall 52% win rate. Estimated cost: slug: "hawk-alerts", title: "Hawk Alerts — Proactive Coaching", description: "Advanced-plan feature: AI Hawk sends you proactive alerts when patterns worsen.", categorySlug: "ai-hawk", content: 80."
  2. "Your 'maximum 2% risk per trade' rule was violated on your last ETH trade — you risked 4.5% of your account. Consider reducing leverage."

Daily/Weekly Loss Limit Approaching

If you have configured loss limits in your strategy rules, Hawk alerts you when you are approaching them:

  1. "You have lost $420 today, which is 84% of your $500 daily loss limit. Consider stopping trading for today."
  2. "This is your third consecutive losing day. Based on your history, continuing to trade during losing streaks reduces your win rate by 15%."

Positive Reinforcement Alerts

Hawk Alerts are not only about warnings — AI Hawk also sends positive notifications when things are going well:

  1. "Great discipline this week! You followed your strategy rules on 92% of trades, up from 78% last week. Your P&L reflects this: +slug: "hawk-alerts", title: "Hawk Alerts — Proactive Coaching", description: "Advanced-plan feature: AI Hawk sends you proactive alerts when patterns worsen.", categorySlug: "ai-hawk", content: ,100 this week vs. +$340 last week."
  2. "You have not revenge traded in 14 days — your longest streak. Your average P&L per day has increased 25% during this period."

Weekly Summary

Every Sunday evening (or Monday morning, depending on your time zone), Hawk sends a weekly performance summary:

  1. Total P&L for the week
  2. Win rate and profit factor
  3. Patterns that improved or worsened
  4. Top suggestion for the coming week

Notification Channels

You can receive Hawk Alerts through multiple channels:

  1. Email notifications — Detailed alerts sent to your registered email address via TraderNest's email service. These contain full analysis with data, charts, and specific recommendations.
  2. Browser push notifications — Short, timely alerts that appear even when TraderNest is not open in your active tab. Useful for real-time warnings like loss limit alerts.
  3. In-app alerts — A notification badge and alert panel within TraderNest that you see when you log in. All alerts are stored here for review.

Configuring Alert Preferences

1

Go to Settings → Notifications

Navigate to Settings in the sidebar, then click the Notifications tab.

2

Choose Alert Types

Toggle which types of alerts you want to receive: pattern worsening, rule violations, loss limit warnings, positive reinforcement, weekly summaries. You can enable or disable each independently.

3

Choose Notification Channels

For each alert type, choose how you want to be notified: email, browser push, in-app, or any combination.

4

Set Quiet Hours (Optional)

If you do not want to receive alerts during certain hours (e.g., while sleeping), set quiet hours. Alerts will be queued and delivered when quiet hours end.

5

Enable Browser Notifications

For browser push notifications, your browser will ask for permission the first time. Click "Allow" when prompted. If you accidentally denied permission, you can re-enable it in your browser settings.

Tip: Start with email alerts enabled for pattern worsening and weekly summaries. These are the two most impactful alert types. Once you are comfortable, add browser push notifications for loss limit warnings to get real-time protection during active trading sessions.
Important: Hawk Alerts require that your exchange connection is active and syncing. If your API connection is broken or your trades are not syncing, the AI cannot monitor your trading in real time. Check your connection status regularly under Settings → Exchanges.
