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, Globex-gated for futures.
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.

Futures alerts that respect
market hours.

Stop-level and price alerts on futures positions (ES, NQ, CL, GC) are evaluated only within CME Globex trading hours — Sunday 6PM through Friday 5PM ET, with the daily 60-minute halt, DST-aware.

No spurious alerts when the market is closed. No waking up at 3AM because a trigger fired on a price that doesn't count.

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.

How do futures alerts handle market hours?

Futures stop/price alerts are evaluated only within CME Globex hours (DST-aware), so you don't get false triggers when the market's closed.

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).
