Live alerts · in your journal

Alerts that watch the trades
you're actually holding.

Most journals only look at trades after they close. SignalDeck fires price, stop-level, and break-even alerts on your open positions — delivered inside the journal, so discipline doesn't depend on memory.

Break-even alerts — price tags your entry, you get pinged to move the stop.
Stop-level monitoring — live watch on your open positions.
Price & pip-distance alerts — set targets on a position; no second charting tab needed.
Chart-based custom alerts — right-click on the chart to set any alert at cursor price; drag the line to adjust.

Discipline your edge
can rely on.

An edge only compounds if you actually manage the trade — move the stop, take the level, don't flinch. Alerts on your open positions make the disciplined action the easy one.

Most journals are post-trade analytics tools: they see the trade only after it closes. SignalDeck watches your live positions so you aren't relying on a separate charting tab to enforce your own rules.

New in v1.0.66

Right-click anywhere on the chart to add an alert at that exact price — optionally give it a title so you know what to do when it fires. To adjust an existing alert, drag its line to the new price and confirm. It saves instantly.

Why this is different

Other tools have alert-like features — but they watch the market or your rules, not the positions you hold.

Tool type Alerts on your open positions?
SignalDeck Price, stop-level & break-even — in-journal
Post-trade journals (TraderSync, Tradervue, Edgewonk) Post-trade analytics only
Journals w/ screener or rule alerts (TradesViz, TradeZella) Market-screener / rule alerts — not your positions
Charting platforms (TradingView, broker) Yes — but a separate tool from your journal

Competitor features change — verify current specs on their sites. See full comparisons →

Stop juggling a charting tab to enforce your own rules.

SignalDeck watches your open positions — price, stop, and break-even — so the disciplined action is always the easy one. Free during beta.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do trading journals have price alerts on open positions?

Most don't — journals are post-trade analytics. A few have market-screener (TradesViz) or rule (TradeZella) alerts, but those watch the market or your rules, not the positions you hold. SignalDeck alerts on your open positions directly.

What is a break-even alert?

It pings you when price reaches your entry so you can move your stop to break-even and make the trade risk-free — the discipline rule, automated.

Are the alerts inside the journal or a separate tool?

Inside the journal. You don't need a separate charting platform open to watch your stops — the alerts live in the same place you journal and analyze your trades, so the loop from "price hit my level" to "log the action" is one ecosystem.

Can I set a custom alert at any price level, not just break-even or stop?

Yes. The trade-details view includes a full interactive chart — right-click anywhere on the chart to add an alert at that exact price, and give it a title so you know what action to take when it fires. You can also drag any existing alert line to a new price level and confirm to save. This is in addition to the automatic position-based alerts (break-even, stop proximity, pip-distance).

More Questions

Can I set a custom alert at any price level from the chart?

Yes. Every open trade has a full interactive chart in the trade-details view. Right-click anywhere on the chart to add an alert at that exact price with an optional title. You can also drag any existing alert line to a new price and confirm to save instantly. This is in addition to the automatic position-based alerts for break-even, stop proximity, and pip-distance targets.
