# Notifications

> Choose how Performax alerts you and which events trigger an alert.

Use **Settings → Notifications** to choose your notification channels and the risk alerts you want to receive.

Each toggle saves as soon as you flip it and confirms with **Notification updated**. If the server cannot save the change, the toggle switches back and an error tells you so.

## Communication channels

| Channel | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Email** | Sends alerts to your account email. |
| **Browser push** | Shows alerts on screen while Performax is open. |

Every alert is also kept in the notification center. With **Browser push** off, alerts still land there without popping up. With both channels off, risk and coach alerts are not sent at all.

## Risk alerts

Choose which trading events you want to hear about. The thresholds come from your [Trading profile](/settings/profile#trading-profile).

| Trigger | When it fires |
| - | - |
| **Daily loss limit** | Your daily loss limit is reached. At most once a day. |
| **Max drawdown** | Your max drawdown is exceeded. At most once a day. |
| **Monthly goal** | Your monthly profit goal is reached. At most once a month. |

Every trigger is based on your configured settings and available data. It is not a recommendation to trade or stop trading.

### Active coach

**Coach violations** alerts you when you break an active coach rule. See [Coach](/features/coach).

### Exchange

**API key errors** notifies you when your exchange API keys fail. Fix the key in [Settings → Exchange](/settings/exchange#troubleshooting).

### Behavioral protection

**Tilt protection popup** is the full-screen popup that interrupts you when a tilt or loss-chasing pattern is detected. It does not depend on your channels. Turn it off if it interrupts you too often.

Looking for a daily reminder? The **Daily mental check** popup is set in [Profile](/settings/profile#psychology-profile).
