Navigation
First, let’s navigate to the Custom Alerts page. From the Unusual Whales Homepage, select the “Resources” dropdown. Then, select “Custom Alerts”
You can also get to Custom Alerts directly from any other platform page via the navigation tab on the left side of the page. All you have to do is click the three lines, select “Screeners”, then “Custom Alerts”.
Setting the Alert
Here, we’re greeted with the Custom Alerts Settings page, we want to select “Insider Trades” from the left column dropdown. Then, in the center column, click the Watchlists dropdown, and select the Watchlist you want to receive Insider Transaction alerts for. Then, you can name and fine-tune your filter in the right column. You can limit the alerts to only Directors, Officers, or 10% owners of a given company, and set the Premium range. For this example, we’ve left all settings blank, meaning all Insider transactions for our watchlist titled Flow Posts will send push notifications.
