Alerts

Every alert Gloom sets, and where each one is checked: in the app while it runs, and in Gloom Cloud when you are signed in.

Open it

Command	Does
`ALRT`	Your alerts: Levels, Events and History
`SA AAPL above 250`	Adds a price alert from the command bar
`gloom alerts add ...`	Adds any alert from the shell; `gloom help alerts` lists every form

Who checks what

The running app checks price, move, valuation, technical and ratio alerts. Signed in with Cloud sync, Gloom Cloud checks them too while the app is closed. A few others are checked only by the running app, and the news, filing and market rules only by Gloom Cloud, for a signed-in account.

A Cloud alert added while signed out is kept, and reads Needs sign-in in ALRT and gloom alerts list until you sign in. Commands such as gloom doctor or gloom fn never check alerts: only the app does.

A symbol is read as gloom quote reads it. A target more than 10 times the last price, or under a tenth of it, is refused.
An IV level reads the 1M row of OVDV's Table: US listings, and BTC-USD and ETH-USD from Deribit's options.
News, flow and the other Cloud rules follow US listings. A coin's news is a keyword alert, on the words you typed when they name the coin, else on its name: gloom alerts add news bitcoin.
A ticker that is also a series name says which listing the alert follows. DVOL is a US fund; Deribit's bitcoin volatility index is gloom fn G CAP:volatility:dvol-btc, and an alert on bitcoin's implied volatility is gloom alerts add BTC-USD iv above 60.
An IV spike needs a live contract: one past its expiry is refused.

After it goes off

A price or IV level alert goes off once, then reads Triggered or Alerted until you re-arm it (m in ALRT, or gloom alerts rearm <id>). A move alert arms itself again for the next session.

History in ALRT, and gloom fn ALRT --tab history, lists the alerts that went off on this device, newest first, with the figure and the quote behind each, beside the alerts you created, re-armed or deleted.
