How to Enable Login Alerts on TradeLyser

Login alerts tell you when your TradeLyser account is accessed from a new browser, device, or geographic area. They are an early-warning system: you can change your password, end rogue sessions, and contact support before someone exports trades or changes broker connections. Alerts complement—but do not replace—strong passwords, two-factor authentication (2FA), and regular session reviews.

This guide covers enabling login notifications, what each alert type means, how to respond to suspicious emails, and how to fix alerts that never arrive.

Why login alerts matter for traders​

Indian traders often access TradeLyser from:

  • Office desktop during market hours
  • Personal laptop after hours
  • Mobile browser via home-screen shortcut

Each legitimate device looks “new” the first time. Alerts help you distinguish your new phone from someone else’s login. Trading journals are high-value targets because they aggregate P&L, strategies, and broker linkage metadata.

What TradeLyser can notify you about​

Depending on your plan and notification settings, login alerts may include:

Alert typeTypical trigger
New deviceFirst login from unseen browser fingerprint
New locationIP geolocation differs from recent pattern
Unusual timeSign-in outside your typical hours (if enabled)
Password changedConfirmation after security update
Session ended remotelyYou signed out another device from Security

Channels:

  • Email to your registered address (primary)
  • Browser notification (if permitted on desktop)
  • Mobile push (when using supported mobile web or app flows)

Step 1: Open Security settings​

  1. Log in to TradeLyser.
  2. Click your profile avatar or Settings in the sidebar.
  3. Navigate to Security (sometimes under Account → Security & Privacy).
  4. Scroll to Login Notifications or Login Alerts.

If you do not see the section, update to the latest UI or confirm your plan includes security notifications—contact Contact Support if missing.

Step 2: Enable notification toggles​

Turn ON the options that match your risk tolerance:

  1. Email on new device login — Recommended for everyone.
  2. Email on unusual location — Recommended if you travel or use VPN.
  3. Browser notification — Useful on desktop; allow when the browser prompts.
  4. Mobile push — Enable if you journal from phone and want instant pings.

Avoid disabling all channels unless you have another monitoring habit (e.g., weekly session audit).

Step 3: Confirm email and notification permissions​

  1. Under Settings → Profile, verify email address is correct.
  2. Check Email Notifications category settings (notification preferences)—security emails should not be blocked.
  3. For browser alerts: allow notifications for tradelyser.com in Chrome/Safari site settings.
  4. On mobile: allow notifications for the browser or PWA if you added TradeLyser to home screen.

Step 4: Save and test​

  1. Click Save at the bottom of Security settings.
  2. Optional test: sign in from a private/incognito window on another device you own.
  3. You should receive a new device email within a few minutes.
  4. If nothing arrives, see troubleshooting below and Dashboard Not Loading only if the UI itself fails—not for email delays.

Reading a login alert email​

Typical fields in the notification:

  • Date and time (often IST-relevant for Indian users)
  • Device / browser (e.g., Chrome on Windows)
  • Approximate location (city/region from IP—may be wrong with VPN)
  • Link to review sessions or “Wasn’t me?” action

If the login was you​

No action required. The device will be recognized on future logins and alerts should decrease for that fingerprint.

If the login was not you​

  1. Open TradeLyser → Settings → Security → Active Sessions.
  2. End unknown sessions. See Manage Sessions.
  3. Change password immediately; ensure 2FA is on.
  4. Review trades log for unexpected exports or bulk edits.
  5. Email support@tradelyser.com with the alert screenshot.

False positives: VPN, travel, and new phones​

VPN or corporate proxy can make every login look like a “new location.” Options:

  • Note when you enable VPN so alerts are expected
  • Temporarily tolerate extra emails during travel
  • Do not disable alerts permanently—instead review sessions weekly

New phone or OS update triggers new device alerts once—normal behavior.

Pair login alerts with account hardening​

Login alerts vs broker login emails​

Zerodha, Fyers, and other brokers send their own login OTP or “new login” messages. Those refer to broker accounts, not TradeLyser. You need both:

  • Broker email — Someone accessed your trading terminal
  • TradeLyser login alert — Someone accessed your journal and analytics

If broker email appears without TradeLyser alert, your broker may be targeted separately—secure the broker first, then TradeLyser.

Weekend-only journalerONONOFF
Travel / VPN userONON (expect noise)OFF
Mobile-only userONONON (phone)

Adjust after two weeks of real alerts—goal is signal, not silence.

Coordinating alerts with session hygiene​

Every login alert should trigger a 10-second habit:

  1. Was it me? → Archive email.
  2. Not me? → Manage Sessions → end all → password change.
  3. Still worried? → Secure Account checklist.

Schedule a calendar reminder first Monday monthly to read alerts you archived during busy market weeks—batch review catches slow-burn compromise.

Troubleshooting missing or excessive alerts​

Not receiving any emails​

  1. Check Spam / Promotions folders.
  2. Whitelist noreply@tradelyser.com (or domain support specifies).
  3. Confirm profile email typo-free.
  4. Ensure Login Notifications toggles are ON and saved.
  5. Corporate email filters may block automated mail—try personal Gmail on profile.

Too many alerts​

  1. Reduce VPN switching during sessions.
  2. Add TradeLyser to home screen on mobile for consistent device ID.
  3. Keep one primary browser profile per machine.

Browser push never shows​

  1. OS notification settings must allow the browser.
  2. Re-allow site permission on tradelyser.com.
  3. Focus mode / Do Not Disturb silences pushes.

Alert says login but I was not online​

Treat as suspicious until proven otherwise—session list, password change, support ticket. Rare timezone display bugs can mislabel time; location + device matter more.

Frequently asked questions​

Are login alerts enabled by default?​

Policies vary; check Security after signup. Enable all recommended toggles manually.

Do login alerts stop hackers automatically?​

No. They notify you; you must end sessions and rotate credentials.

Will I get an alert for mentee or shared access logins?​

Mentee logins use their own accounts; your alerts cover your credentials. Review mentee permissions separately.

Do alerts work with Google Sign-In?​

Yes. New device detection applies to OAuth sign-ins as well.

Can I disable alerts temporarily?​

You can, but not recommended. Prefer tolerating extra emails during travel than running blind.

Does a login alert mean my broker is compromised?​

Not necessarily—only that TradeLyser was accessed. Correlate with broker emails and session list.

Are IP locations always accurate?​

No. Mobile carriers and VPNs often show wrong cities. Use device name + your memory of logins.

I changed password—should I get an alert?​

Many setups send confirmation email. Expect other devices to be signed out; review Manage Sessions.

Can I forward alerts to a second email?​

Use email rules at your provider to forward security mail—TradeLyser sends to primary profile email.

Alerts in Hindi or regional language?​

Notification language follows email template defaults—content may be English; act on device/location facts, not wording alone.

Login alerts for Indian traders on the move​

Many active traders in India access TradeLyser from home broadband, office Wi‑Fi, and 4G/5G on the same week. Each network change can trigger a login alert even when the session is legitimate—especially after switching from Jio to Airtel during a commute or using a VPN for privacy on public networks. Treat alerts as signals, not automatic proof of compromise: compare device name, approximate time, and whether you just opened the app after mobile access on a new phone.

During market holidays or travel abroad, you may log in from a foreign IP while reviewing last month’s trades. If the alert matches your trip, archive the email and continue. If you were asleep during NSE hours and see a login from an unknown browser, follow the suspicious-login path in this guide—end sessions via manage sessions, rotate your password, and confirm secure account steps. Pair alerts with review security monthly so login notifications, 2FA, and broker OAuth hygiene stay aligned. Mentors on Pro should still receive their own alerts on mentee credentials; revoking access is separate—see revoke mentee access when coaching ends.
