Whale alerts: get phone notifications when top traders move

Whale alerts are phone notifications that tell you when a big trader makes a move. On sasa you can follow any of Hyperliquid's top traders and get an alert when they open, add to, cut, flip or close a position. You log in once, tap the bell on a trader's page and allow notifications. On iPhone you add sasa to your Home Screen first. This guide walks through setup, explains each kind of alert and suggests what to do when one arrives. Everything starts from the Data page.

What triggers an alert

• Opened: the trader started a new position in a market.
• Added: an existing position grew by 20% or more.
• Cut: an existing position shrank by 20% or more.
• Flipped: they went from long to short, or short to long, in the same market.
• Closed: the position is gone.

Small adjustments under 20% don't trigger an alert, which keeps routine fine-tuning out of your notifications.

How to turn alerts on

1. Log in to sasa. Alerts are tied to your account, so this is needed once.
2. On iPhone or iPad, add sasa to your Home Screen first: open sasapad.fun in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, and open sasa from that icon. Apple only lets web apps send notifications when they're saved to the Home Screen.
3. Open the Data page, go to Top traders and tap a trader to open their page.
4. Tap the bell or Get alerts.
5. When your phone or browser asks, allow notifications. If you said no by accident, turn notifications for sasa back on in your phone or browser settings.

From then on you get a phone push and a bell notification inside sasa whenever that trader moves. You can follow up to 50 traders.

Busy traders and summary notes

Some top traders are very active: they open and close dozens of positions an hour. Rather than sending you a notification for every one, sasa groups a burst of moves from a busy trader into one summary note. You still see what happened, without your phone buzzing all afternoon.

Choosing who to follow

On Top traders you can sort by 7 days, 30 days or all time. A few things to check before tapping the bell:

• Consistency. Do they rank well over 30 days and all time, not just this week?
• Style. Their 30-day volume and moves this week show whether they trade a few big positions or hundreds of small ones. A slower trader gives you alerts you can think about.
• Risk. Look at their leverage and liquidation prices. A trader with liquidation prices close to the market may be exciting to follow, but their moves are often forced rather than chosen.
• Balance. If the long vs short bar sits near the middle, they may be hedged or trading pairs, so single alerts tell you less.

The Hyperliquid whale tracker guide explains every number on a trader's page.

What to do when an alert arrives

Say you get an alert: Whale #7 opened a $1.5M SOL short at 8x. A calm routine looks like this:

1. Open their page. Is this a new view, or did they also cut a SOL long a minute earlier? Do they hold longs in other coins that offset it?
2. Check the market. On the Data page, look at the Whale trades bar for the last 15 minutes and SOL's funding. Is big money broadly selling, or is this one trader on their own? The whale buying pressure guide explains the bar.
3. Look at the mood. The Market Fear & Greed reading tells you whether you're in a crowded market or a quiet one.
4. Decide whether it changes your own view. If it doesn't, do nothing. Most alerts should end here.

If it does change your mind and you choose to trade, size for your own account, use less leverage than the whale and set your own stop loss. You found out about the move after it happened, so the price you get will be different from theirs. The risks are covered in should you copy trade whales.

Alerts vs watching the feed

Alerts and the Whale moves feed on the Data page cover the same kinds of moves but suit different habits. The feed shows what the 30 biggest winners by 30-day profit just did, checked about every 30 seconds, so it's good when you have the page open and want the full picture. Alerts are for the few traders you care about most, when you're away from the screen. Many people use both: alerts on a short list, and a look at the feed and the Whale trades bar a couple of times a day.

If you follow a trader for a few weeks and their alerts never change what you do, drop them and pick someone else. A short list of traders whose moves you understand is worth more than a long list you skim.

If alerts don't arrive

• Check you're logged in on the device where you want alerts.
• Check that notifications for sasa (or for your browser) are allowed in your phone's settings, and that Focus or Do Not Disturb isn't hiding them.
• On iPhone, make sure you opened sasa from the Home Screen icon when you turned alerts on, not from a Safari tab.
• Remember that small changes under 20% don't trigger an alert, and a busy trader's moves may arrive as one summary.

Alerts are information. They don't place trades, and nothing here is financial advice. If you trade on sasa's Futures page or anywhere else, leverage can lose your whole margin.
