Personal automated account alerts

This page describes a small personal automation I built and operate myself: a program that watches my own trading account and sends me — and only me — a text message when something needs my attention.

I am an individual, not a company. There is no product, service, or subscription offered here to anyone else; this page exists to document the messaging use case for phone-number verification purposes.

What the messages are

The system sends SMS alerts to my own phone number when a small set of predefined, account-level events occur — things I need to know about even if I'm away from my computer:

Sample message

ALERT: Daily loss limit reached (-5.0%). New trades paused. Reply STOP to unsubscribe, HELP for help.

Opt-in / consent

I am the sole owner and recipient of SMS alerts sent from this number. The number is configured to send alerts only to my own phone number, and I opted myself in by entering my own number into the system's private configuration — no other individuals receive messages from this number, and no numbers are collected, purchased, or added without my own direct action.

See the full Opt-In Policy for details on how consent was captured.

Frequency & opt-out

Message frequency is low — typically fewer than 10 messages per month, driven entirely by account activity. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe, or HELP for help.
