Pushover On Halt
What it does
Send a push notification when a circuit breaker fires and halts new entries (VIX halt, macro halt, daily-loss halt, weekly-loss halt), plus operational alerts such as a half-rolled position or a streamer error. Halt alerts are deduplicated per account and halt reason per UTC calendar day, so an active halt does not re-notify on every cycle. The dedup date is only recorded when at least one channel actually sends, so switching Pushover on later the same day still gets you the alert.
When to change it
Leave ON when trading live. Knowing the bot has stopped entering matters more than fill confirmations.
Safe range
ON or OFF.
Example
VIX spikes above the kill switch. A push titled "Trading halted" arrives once: "[BOT] HALT ...1234: vix_halt (vix=36.2)". The same halt stays quiet for the rest of the day even though it remains active.
