SMS Risk Alerts

Trader Pro Pro can send optional text notifications for supported position-risk events so you can receive important warnings when you are away from the dashboard.

  • Daytime alerts can notify you when a supported short strike becomes threatened.
  • Overnight Risk Guard can send an escalation alert when supported risk moves from orange to red.
  • Alerts are associated with the signed-in user's Trader Pro account and supported broker positions.
Pro feature: SMS Risk Alerts require a paid Pro subscription and separate SMS opt-in consent. Text alerts are supplemental and do not replace monitoring your brokerage account or open positions.
If BXK displays a quote-quality warning, live valuation may be unreliable and automated P/L guidance may be suspended.
