PositionPing

Know the moment your Coinbase account needs you.

PositionPing watches your Coinbase Advanced Trade account around the clock and sends you an email or text message the moment one of your alert rules is triggered โ€” a position moving against you, an account gone quiet, a daily loss limit breached. Close the tab. You'll know.

Free email alerts forever ยท Pro with SMS from $9/mo ยท view-only access

๐Ÿ“ˆ Position P&L thresholds

Get alerted when any open position's unrealized profit or loss crosses a limit you choose โ€” in either direction.

๐Ÿ˜ด Stale-data warnings

If your account stops reporting fresh data โ€” a hung trading bot, an expired key โ€” you find out in minutes, not hours.

๐Ÿ›‘ Daily loss limits

Set a daily loss threshold on an account and get a heads-up the moment it's breached.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Email + text delivery

Every alert lands in your inbox. Add your phone number and it also lands in your pocket, from a verified toll-free number.

How it works

  1. Create a free account with just your email address โ€” takes under a minute.
  2. Connect Coinbase using a view-only API key. The service can see positions โ€” it can never trade, move, or withdraw anything.
  3. Set your rules. When one triggers, you get an email โ€” and a text if you've added your phone number.

Common questions

Is this safe? What can it access?

The service accepts only view-only Coinbase API keys, which means it can read your positions and nothing else โ€” no trading, no transfers, no withdrawals, ever. Keys are stored encrypted, and you can disconnect an account or delete everything at any time.

What does it cost?

Email alerts and one connected account are free, forever. Pro is $9/month and adds text-message alerts and up to five connected accounts. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime โ€” billing is handled by Stripe.

Which accounts does it work with?

Coinbase Advanced Trade accounts โ€” including futures positions โ€” via the Coinbase Developer Platform API.

How quickly will I get an alert?

Your account is checked continuously, around the clock. When a rule trips, the alert goes out immediately โ€” typically you'll know within a minute or two of the threshold being crossed.

Do I have to get text messages?

No โ€” texts are strictly opt-in. Every alert always goes to your email; texts are an optional extra you enable by adding your phone number in Settings, and you can opt out any time by removing the number or replying STOP. Message & data rates may apply; message frequency depends on the rules you create. See the Privacy Policy.
