ACondor: Automated Options Trading Bot

SMS On Halt

Setting key
sms_on_halt
Default
OFF

What it does

Send an SMS whenever a circuit breaker fires (VIX kill switch, daily loss limit, weekly loss limit, risk-off halt). Critical for knowing when the bot has stopped entering without checking the dashboard.

When to change it

Turn ON when trading live. Knowing the bot has halted is more important than fill confirmations.

Safe range

ON or OFF.

Example

VIX spikes to 36. SMS: "HALT: VIX kill switch fired (36.2 > 35). No new entries until tomorrow."
