Price and liquidation alerts
The bell holds your notifications, price alerts and bet results. With push on for this device, liquidation warnings and price alerts also reach you when Prow is closed.
On this page
Prow watches your positions and the prices you care about on its servers. When something needs your attention, you get a notification in the bell and a push on every device where push is on. The app does not need to be open.
There are two kinds of risk and price alerts:
- Liquidation warnings when a position gets close to its liquidation price.
- Price alerts when a market crosses your price or moves fast.
Prow also tells you how your Polymarket bets end. See Bet results.
The bell
The bell sits at the right end of every page's header, next to Deposit (on a phone, at the top right). A blue badge counts the notifications you haven't read. On a computer the bell opens the Alerts panel under it. On a phone it opens Alerts full screen, with ✕ to go back.
The panel has two tabs:
- Notifications: the latest ones, each with what happened and when. Tap one to open what it is about, for example the position. Mark all read clears the dots, and Show older opens the whole list.
- Price alerts: your price alerts, each with a switch to pause or resume it. Tap an alert to edit it. New alert creates one, and Notification settings opens Settings > Notifications.
On a computer, Show older opens the same two tabs as a page: the whole notification history, and your price alerts as a table.
Liquidation warnings
Liquidation warnings are always on. You cannot turn them off, but you choose how early they come.
Pick the distance in Settings > Notifications > Liquidation warning: 5%, 10% (the default) or 20%. The same distance decides when a position shows in Needs attention on Portfolio.
You get up to two warnings per position:
| Your setting | First warning | Critical warning |
|---|---|---|
| 5% | Under 5% away | Under 2.5% away |
| 10% | Under 10% away | Under 5% away |
| 20% | Under 20% away | Under 10% away |
Distance is measured from the mark price to the liquidation price. See Liquidation for how it works.
A warning names the position and how far it is from liquidation, for example BTC-PERP 8.4% from liquidation, then the mark price, the liquidation price, the side and the leverage. Tap it to open the position.
Liquidation warnings always go to every channel you have: the bell and push.
Price alerts
A price alert tells you when a perp market reaches a price or moves fast. Alerts are checked on the venue's mark price, at least once a minute.
Create a price alert
Open the Price alert window
On Trade, tap the bell with a plus next to the market's price (New price alert): the window starts with that market. Or open the bell, then Price alerts, then New alert.
Pick the venue and market
Choose Hyperliquid or Aster, then search the market. The alert uses that venue's mark price. Lighter is listed but can't be picked: alerts don't cover it.
Choose the alert type
Price fires when the mark price crosses your target. % move fires when the price moves a set percent within a time window.
Set the target
For Price, type the price under Alert me at, or tap −5%, −1%, +1% or +5% from the current mark. For % move, type the move under Alert me on a move of, or tap ±2%, ±5% or ±10%, then pick Within 15m, 1h, 4h or 24h.
Choose once or every time
Leave Repeat every time off for a one-time alert, or turn it on to keep it.
Tap Create alert
The alert shows up in your list right away.
On Trade, while you have no price alert, the bell next to the market's price shows a small blue dot. Tap it and the window opens as a % move alert for that market, filled in for you: 4% in a day for BTC and ETH, 6% for the next eight markets by 24h volume, 10% for the rest. The line under the title reads, for example, "Tell me when ETH moves 4% in a day." Change anything you like, then tap Create alert. Nothing is created until you do. The dot goes away once you tap it.
What the fields mean
- Direction: you only type a price. Prow picks the direction: a target above the current mark reads Rises above, a target below reads Falls below. The distance from the mark shows next to the price, for example "+8.9%".
- % move: fires when the price moves that much up or down within the window. For example, Moves 5% in 1h.
- Repeat every time off: "fires once, then pauses". The alert's switch turns off after it fires. Turn it on again (on a phone, Re-arm) to use it again.
- Repeat every time on: for a Price alert, "fires again after the price crosses back". It fires once per crossing, not every minute while the price stays past your level. A repeating % move alert fires again only after the move drops below 60% of its size, and the window says the number, for example "fires again after the move drops below 2.4%" for a 4% alert.
- The line at the bottom says where you get it: "You get it in the bell and on this device, even when Prow is closed" when alerts are on for this device. When they are off it says "You get it in the bell. Turn on alerts to get it when Prow is closed". Notification settings opens the settings.
Manage your alerts
In the bell's Price alerts tab, flip an alert's switch to pause or resume it, or tap it to edit it. Show older in the bell opens the Alerts page, where the Price alerts tab lists every alert:
- Condition: what fires the alert, for example Above 70,000 or Moves 5% in 1h.
- Mark: the current mark price on that venue.
- Distance: how far the mark is from your target.
- Repeat: Once or Every time.
- On: pause or resume the alert. A paused alert does not fire.
- ⋯: Edit the target and repeat setting, or Delete the alert.
On a phone the alerts are split into Active and Triggered or paused, and a one-time alert that fired has Re-arm.
To pause every price alert at once, turn off Price alerts in Settings > Notifications. Your alerts stay saved.
Bet results
Prow tells you how your Polymarket bets end: when a market resolves, and when winnings arrive. These land in the bell and as a push on every device where push is on. Tap one to open My bets, where you claim a win.
| Title | When | What it says |
|---|---|---|
| Your bet won | The market resolved your way | The market and your side. If the winnings are not claimed: "It pays $42.00, +$17.00". If they are already in your account: "$42.00 paid to your Polymarket account", with your profit. |
| Winnings paid | The winnings of an earlier win reached your Polymarket account | The amount and the market. |
| Your bet lost | The market resolved against you | The market and your side, and what you lost, for example "−$25.00". |
- Polymarket bets only. Bets on Hyperliquid and predict.fun don't send results.
- Accounts you connected. Prow reads the Polymarket accounts you connected in Predictions, from any of your devices.
- About every 2 minutes. A result can take a couple of minutes to arrive after the market resolves, and each one is told once.
- No switch of its own. Settings > Notifications has no switch for bet results. Push follows the push setting of each device.
Turn on push
Alerts always land in the bell. To get them when Prow is closed, turn on push on each device.
Open notification settings
Go to Settings > Notifications, or tap Notification settings in the bell's Price alerts.
Tap Turn on alerts
Your browser asks for permission. Allow it. The card changes to Alerts are on for this device.
Send a test
Tap Send test. You should get a push within a few seconds.
Push is set per device and per browser. Turn it on again on every phone or computer you use.
Prow also offers it where it helps: right after you create a price alert, after your first order on Hyperliquid or Aster, and in an empty bell. The offer is a card with Turn on alerts and Not now (in the window that follows an alert, Done closes it). You see it at most three times in all, and never once push is on. The cards that follow an alert come at most once a day; the one after your first order always comes, and the card in an empty bell waits a week after the last card you saw. A quiet line with Turn on alerts sits under Get started on Portfolio and Trade, and does not count toward the three. Your browser asks for permission only when you tap Turn on alerts.
iPhone and iPad
On iPhone and iPad, push works only in the installed app (iOS 16.4 or later). In a Safari tab you see Install Prow to get alerts.
Open Prow in Safari
Tap Share, then Add to Home Screen
Open Prow from the Home Screen icon
Sign in, then turn on push in Settings > Notifications.
If push does not arrive
- Notifications are blocked: allow notifications for Prow in your browser or phone settings, then reload.
- Alerts do not work in this browser: Prow is open inside another app, such as a social app, and that browser can't receive push. Open Prow in Chrome or Safari, sign in and turn push on there (on iPhone, add Prow to the Home Screen first). Alerts still go to the bell.
- Alerts are not available here: this browser does not support web push, or it is the browser of a wallet app (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Rabby, Phantom). A wallet app's browser can't receive push, and Prow does not ask you to leave it, because your session and your trading key are in that browser. Alerts still go to the bell.
- Test not delivered: turn alerts off and on again on this device.
Do alerts work when the app is closed?
Yes. Prow checks on its servers, not in your browser.
- Hyperliquid: liquidation warnings and price alerts work with the app closed.
- Aster price alerts: work with the app closed.
- Polymarket bet results: work with the app closed. Prow's servers read your connected Polymarket accounts.
- Aster liquidation warnings, stops, take profits and fills: Prow reads your Aster positions and trades through the builder approval you gave when you connected Aster. That works only while Account privacy is off in your wallet menu on asterdex.com. With privacy on, or if you removed the approval, Prow sees your positions only while the app is open and for 15 minutes after (such a warning can say Position as of N min ago), and pushes about Aster stops, take profits, fills and liquidations do not come at all.
Other notifications
Settings > Notifications also has these switches:
- Order fills: when a limit order you left on the book fills. A market order fills while you watch, so Prow does not send one.
- TP / SL triggered: when a take profit or stop loss closes a position.
These cover Hyperliquid accounts, and Aster accounts while Account privacy is off and the builder approval is in place (see above).
Some things are shown on screen and not sent as notifications. When more than 75% of an account's margin is in use, or a trading key is about to expire, Portfolio's Needs attention shows it while Prow is open: see Needs attention. A deposit you start in Prow shows its progress and a Deposit arrived message on screen too: see Track your deposit.
Scanner alerts you set up on Market signals arrive in the bell like any other notification, at most 5 a day. Right after you save one, Prow may offer to turn on push in the same window. See Market signals.
Bot notices arrive in the bell too: a bot started or scheduled, deals closed, take profit, stop loss, pauses, errors, liquidation, and the bot key or a bot's limits about to expire. Completed grid pairs come as one summary every 30 minutes. With bots on, Settings > Notifications also has Weekly strategy update. See Manage a bot.
