Alert yourself by text 15 minutes before market close if any open limit orders have not yet filled.
Notify by SMS when a single position rises past your target gain percentage so you can decide to take profit.

Active traders and algorithmic investors often miss critical account events because monitoring requires staying glued to a dashboard. Alpaca provides powerful brokerage API access, but it does not push SMS alerts natively. Twilio fills that gap, and Neotask connects the two so you get notified the moment anything important happens.
When Alpaca executes an order, Neotask reads the fill via the endpoint and immediately triggers a Twilio with the trade details. You know exactly what executed, at what price, and in what quantity - without opening a browser.
Neotask monitors your Alpaca positions via and compares each position's current value against your defined thresholds. The moment a position moves past your limit, an SMS fires. This works for both downside risk alerts and upside target alerts.
Every morning before market open, Neotask can pull your Alpaca account summary via , format the key metrics, and send a structured SMS through Twilio. No app to open, no dashboard to load - your portfolio status comes to you.
Alpaca's endpoint provides real-time market status. Neotask can check market hours before running any scheduled operation and alert you if conditions are not what you expected, preventing unintended actions during pre-market or after-hours sessions.
Describe the alerts you want in plain language and Neotask handles the Alpaca queries and Twilio delivery automatically.
Set a specific phone number in your Neotask session once so every Twilio alert goes to the right contact without repeating it each time.
Use percentage-based thresholds rather than dollar amounts so your alerts stay relevant as your portfolio size changes over time.
Schedule your morning summary 10 minutes before market open so you have context before any pre-market activity begins.
Yes. Neotask works with both Alpaca paper and live trading endpoints. Specify which account type when setting up your alert conditions.
Alert latency depends on how often Neotask polls the Alpaca orders endpoint. For near-real-time alerts, schedule the check on a short interval such as every 30 seconds.
Yes. Provide multiple Twilio destination numbers in your prompt and Neotask will send the same alert to each one.
Twilio trial accounts work for testing, but production SMS delivery requires a paid Twilio account with a verified sending number.
Yes. Describe the exact format you want in your prompt - for example, include the order ID, or use a short format with just symbol and price - and Neotask structures the message accordingly.
Connect Alpaca and Twilio in under 2 minutes. Trading events become instant SMS alerts.
