Prepare for Price Alerts Before Market Data Goes Live

Start with a real want

Price alerts should answer a decision you genuinely intend to make. Add a precise card variant, desired quantity and a target that reflects your budget. Avoid setting alerts for every card; a small list is easier to review and less likely to create notification fatigue.

Wait for eligible evidence

An alert should only use a published snapshot with acceptable confidence and freshness. If the market is pending, there is no valid estimate to compare with your target, so PalTCG keeps the control unavailable. This is a product dependency, not a reason to buy Pro solely for a feature that is not active.

Keep data after a downgrade

When alerts are eventually active, a downgrade should pause excess alerts rather than delete them. That preserves intent and lets a collector resume the most important alerts after returning to Pro or reducing the active set.
