Crypto Trading Bot Alerts: Severity-Based Email Without the Noise
· 8 min read
At 3:14 AM, your bot crashes. The exchange API key rotated, or the venue pushed an auth change, or a transient network blip put the runner in an error state. The bot stops trading. You won't find out until you open your laptop the next morning — by which point the move you wanted to capture has already happened, and the position you wanted to exit is now 4% deeper underwater. That single failure mode is the reason VolatiCloud's alerting system exists, and it's the reason the design goal is narrow: notify you immediately when something critical breaks, and stay quiet the rest of the time.
