Common questions

Alertsify FAQ

What is Alertsify?

Alertsify is a self-directed trading automation platform. Users choose independent traders, configure their own rules, and connect a supported brokerage account. Alertsify mechanically transmits instructions; the broker executes the trades.

Is Alertsify the same as a managed account?

No. Alertsify states that it does not provide investment advice, make suitability decisions, exercise discretion, or hold customer funds. Users remain responsible for trader selection, settings, and outcomes.

Are the trader records verified?

Alertsify says its platform statistics are based on connected brokerage data rather than self-reported screenshots. Verification improves the evidence quality but does not guarantee future performance.

Can Alertsify guarantee a copied trade will match the source?

No. Broker, market movement, timing, order type, sizing, slippage, partial fills, rejections, and technical failures can all create differences.

What should I decide before enabling automation?

At minimum: which trader you understand, the maximum size and loss you will accept, execution mode, pause rules, what happens to open positions, and how you will verify the first copied activity.
