How do I link my Discord to my Unusual Whales account?
The Unusual Whales Discord Server
To start, join the Unusual Whales Discord server by selecting “Connect” on the main page, then click the “Unusual Whales Discord”
This will open a new window to Discord (or, if you have the Discord app installed, it will open the app) where you’ll accept the Discord Server invitation. Now you’ve joined the discord server, it’s time to link your Discord account to your Unusual Whales account.
First, click the Profile Icon in the top right of the page. Then, select “Link Discord” under the General settings tab.
This will again open up a new tab or the Discord app, where you’ll accept the request to link your Discord account to your Unusual Whales account. You’re also able to link roles within the Discord server to your account.
Breaking down the Unusual Whales Discord Channels
There are a lot of channels within the Discord that cater to different interests. We’ll focus here on the key channels that benefit everyone and have a lot to offer.
#-only-flow
The #only-flow channel is exactly that; a place where users can post interesting flow and ideas. Any flow posted in this channel is automatically re-posted in the #-flow-discussion channel, where users can engage in deeper discussion into the options flow.
#-flow-discussions
The #-flow-discussions channel acts as a sort of extension of #-only-flow. Here, users can discuss options flow and flow concepts, as well as ask for other opinions on options flow they’ve found.
#-private-treehouse
The #-private-treehouse is the general hangout and discussion spot for Unusual Whales subscribers. This is where subscribers can talk about anything from their hobbies to market concepts. For non-subscribers, the channel for this is #general-chat, and for memes, jokes, and general goofing around, #-ree-venting-bonking exists.
Options and Market Alerts Channels
The Options and Market Alerts channels are set up to automatically push alerts for their respective categories without the need to use bot commands. These alerts are tied to the Unusual Whales Custom Alerts screener on the platform: https://unusualwhales.com/custom-alerts
On the Custom Alert page, you can fully customize the alerts you receive, spanning across all categories from Analyst rating changes, Economic releases, Insider trades, specific Options contracts and Interval flows, even trading halts. There are also pre-built alerts. Each of these alert categories also hold the ability to create entire watchlists to look back on. All of these alerts are tied to the respective Alerts channels in the Unusual Whales discord when your Discord account and Unusual Whales account are linked. These alerts also push to the Mobile App, if you have it installed.
