Configuring Live Trading Message Push and Its Rate Limit
Summary
The guide explains how to route messages from live trading programs through mobile app notifications, verified email, or a custom WebHook destination. It describes enabling each channel in account settings and how strategies can trigger pushes through log output, trading-library settings, or a visual message-push module. The exact options depend on the strategy language and environment.
Pushes are rate limited: in each 20-second interval, only the most recent message is retained, while earlier messages are filtered out. This makes the feature suitable for alerts and status updates, but means a burst of messages will not all reach the configured destinations. The document is operational guidance rather than a trading method and provides no performance evidence or discussion of alert reliability beyond this limit.
Key ideas
- Messages from live strategies can be routed to mobile app notifications, verified email, or a configured WebHook.
- Strategies can trigger pushes through log output, built-in trading-library settings, or a visual message-push module.
- Only the latest message in each 20-second interval is delivered, so earlier messages in that period are discarded.
- Push configuration delivers operational alerts and does not establish any trading signal or performance benefit.
