Where to Find the Alert History
The Alerts page on Investography includes a delivery history section showing recent alert notifications. Each entry shows the stock symbol, alert type, condition that was met, the price at the time of firing, and the delivery timestamp. This gives you a complete record of every notification sent to your account.
Using the Log for Performance Review
At the end of each month, review the alert history to assess which rules fired and which did not. Identify rules that fired but where you did not act — these may be rules with thresholds that are too sensitive or situations where the alert fired but the context did not justify action. Consider whether those rules need threshold adjustments.
Identifying Missed Opportunities
Cross-reference the alert history with the EOD summaries available in the Calendar. If a stock had a significant session that you missed but it is in your watchlist with no corresponding alert in the history, you have an alert coverage gap. Either the stock moved on a dimension you did not have an alert for, or the alert threshold was set at a level the stock did not reach.
Compare your alert delivery history against your actual trading decisions. How many alerts led to trades? How many did not? If the ratio is very low, your alerts may be generating signals that are not actually aligned with your investment criteria — recalibrate the thresholds to match your actual decision points.
