What to Do When You Get an Alert
Your alert just fired. Your phone buzzed or your inbox pinged. Now what? Most people either panic-trade or ignore it. A calmer approach works better.
Step 1: Read the Alert Carefully
Every alert includes the same fields:
- Asset: the coin or token that triggered the alert
- Razalith score: the exact score at the moment of the alert (usually 75+ for extreme alerts)
- Market bias: Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral (independent from the score)
- Price: the asset price when the alert fired
- 24h change: how much the asset moved in the last day
- Direct link: opens the asset detail panel on the dashboard
Do not trade on the alert alone. The alert tells you something unusual is happening. It does not tell you what to do.
Step 2: Open the Dashboard
Click the link in the alert. Look at the asset’s current score, its score history chart, and the AI analysis. Ask yourself:
- Is the score climbing steadily or did it spike suddenly?
- What does the AI analysis say about the context?
- Does the market bias align with what you see on the chart?
A score that climbed from 20 to 80 over several hours tells a different story than one that jumped straight to 95 in five minutes. The history chart gives you that context.
Step 3: Read the AI Analysis
Razalith generates a plain-English summary for every monitored asset. It uses only factual data from the scoring system. It never predicts prices or tells you to buy or sell.
Use the AI analysis to understand:
- What is driving the unusual score right now
- Whether multiple indicators agree or conflict
- What to watch next

Step 4: Check the Track Record
Go to the Track Record and look for past alerts on the same asset or similar coins. How did those play out? This gives you a baseline for what to expect, not a prediction.
The Track Record measures every extreme alert against price moves for 7 days. Some hit, some miss. The point is transparency, not certainty.
Step 5: Decide Your Move
The alert is information. Your decision is yours. Common responses:
- Investigate further: dig into the chart, news, and on-chain data before acting
- Wait and watch: set a price alert on your exchange and monitor how the score evolves
- Add to a watchlist: mark the asset in your favorites on the dashboard for easy tracking
- Do nothing: not every alert deserves action. Many extreme events resolve quietly
What Not to Do
- Do not treat it as a buy signal. The score measures unusualness, not opportunity. The asset could be unusual because it is about to crash.
- Do not FOMO in. A high score often coincides with volatility. Volatility cuts both ways.
- Do not ignore the bias. An extreme score with a Bearish bias is a very different situation than the same score with a Bullish bias.
- Do not expect instant results. The Track Record measures moves over 7 days, not 30 minutes.
Pro Tips
- Lower your threshold temporarily: if you want more signals, set your alert threshold to 65 or 70 instead of the default 75. You will get more alerts, including more moderate anomalies.
- Use favorites: free users can watch 3 assets. Pick the ones you care about most.
- Watch the cooldown: after an alert fires, that asset enters a quiet period. You will not get another alert on it until the cooldown ends, even if the score stays high.
