You can't stare at every chart all day — that's MAX's job. A monitor is a standing instruction to watch one specific condition and ping you the moment it fires. Set it once, and MAX keeps the watch around the clock so you don't have to.
Setting one up
You create monitors in plain English — no rule-builder, no dropdown maze. Just describe what you want to be told about.
Click "Set up a monitor"
It's a starter button on the chat home. It drops you into a prompt that begins, "ping me when…"
Describe the trigger
Finish the sentence in your own words. "Ping me when BTC RSI crosses above 70." "Alert me on smart-money rotation in crypto." "Tell me when dark-pool prints exceed $10M on SPY."
MAX parses and arms it
It translates your sentence into a precise condition, confirms the asset and threshold, and the monitor goes live immediately. From then on it's watching.
What you can watch
Monitors come in two flavors, and MAX picks the right one from how you phrase it:
Where alerts show up
When a monitor fires, it lands in the Monitors hub under the Alerts tab. Each alert isn't just a buzzer — it comes with context: a plain headline of what happened, the signals behind it, and how this setup compares to similar moments in the past. Unread alerts are flagged so you can scan what's new at a glance.
You can run up to 5 active monitors at once. That's a deliberate constraint — it forces you to watch what actually matters instead of drowning in noise. Need a slot? Pause one from the monitor card and the next is free to arm.
Managing your monitors
Every monitor shows up as a card in the hub with its trigger, the assets it watches, how long it's been running, and when it last fired. From there you can pause it when you want quiet, resume it later, or delete it when it's served its purpose.
Let MAX keep watch
Set a monitor in one sentence and get pinged the moment your trigger fires. Start your trial and arm your first one.
