On the Alerts Tracker you'll see alerts from strategies you don't subscribe to, alongside your own. The ones you don't subscribe to are shown on a delay.

How the delay works

An alert from a source you're not subscribed to appears two hours after it fired, and only during market hours. Outside of 9:30am to 4:00pm Eastern, Monday to Friday, the delay is dropped entirely and everything shows immediately — once the session is over, nobody can act on it anyway.

Your own sources are never delayed. They appear on the Alerts Tracker the moment they fire, exactly as they do on Your Alerts Page.

For example

Suppose you subscribe to 0DTE Options but not to a spread strategy another trader publishes.

• A 0DTE alert at 10:15am appears instantly.
• A spread alert at 10:15am appears at 12:15pm.
• A spread alert at 3:50pm appears at 4:00pm, when the session closes.

Why it's there at all

The delay is what lets us show you every strategy's honest, complete record — including the losers — without giving away alerts people pay for. You can judge a strategy on its real history before you subscribe to it, which is a better deal than a marketing page.

Tip

If a delayed strategy looks worth following, subscribing removes the delay for its whole history, not just for alerts from that point on. See Adding a Signal Source.

Note

A delayed alert is a real alert, not an estimate. The prices and results are what actually happened — you're just seeing them later.
