Settings

Settings is the account control surface, split into four tabs that match how you come to it:

• Account — who you are: profile card, email change, two-factor auth, referral link, data export/delete
• Billing — what you pay for: tier badge, Stripe portal, upgrade prompt, AI usage counters
• Notifications — how the product tries to reach you: master mute, per-kind channel matrix, quiet hours, device push subscribe, muted symbols (this is *delivery*; the alert *rules* themselves live at /settings/alerts)
• Preferences — how the terminal looks and behaves: theme, chart timeframe, timezone, extended hours, auto-refresh, ticker bar, workspace import/export, session reset, hotkeys

Deep-linkable: /settings#billing, /settings#notifications, /settings#preferences. No hash → Account.

Server-backed values sync across devices; the page shows them fast from a local paint and never hides whether the save landed.

Account

Profile + email. Your display card sits at the top of this tab. To change the account email itself, use the *Change email* card: enter the new address, we send a verification link to the *new* address first, the old address stays usable as a login alias so you're never locked out mid-move.

Two-factor authentication (top of this tab). TOTP (Google Authenticator / Authy / 1Password all speak it). Enable → scan the QR (or enter the secret manually) → confirm with a fresh six-digit code. Once enrolled, every login needs a code. Disable with your account password, which is also the lost-phone recovery path.

Referral. Your shareable link + copy button. Anyone you bring in counts on this row.

Data rights. Export my data (JSON) hands you a single file with your profile, watchlists, alerts, journal, simulator state, and subscription record — no credentials or card numbers. Delete my account needs your password *and* typing DELETE; it's permanent and not reversible (cancel a paid plan first if you have one).

Billing

The Current Plan card shows your tier (Free / Pro / Terminal) and trial state. If you're paid: Manage Billing opens the Stripe portal for plan changes, cards, invoices, and cancellation. If you're free, it routes you to /pricing — there's nothing Stripe-side to manage yet. A successful checkout flips the badge immediately (with a TIER_ACTIVATED banner).

Notifications

This tab is the fix place for *how anything finds you*. One card with four behaviors, all saving to your account:

• Mute everything — one switch. Nothing reaches you except halted-stock warnings (those are urgent by design).
• Channels by alert type — a grid of kind × channel (in-app inbox, device push, email). Tick what you want. Price alerts + halts + fills default everywhere; watchlist movers default to push; digests default to email.
• Quiet hours — start, end, and timezone. During the window, events write to the inbox but don't push. *(Historical note: this control famously didn't do anything before 2026-09-01; it does now. If your setting looks wrong, re-set it once.)*
• Push notifications — subscribe/unsubscribe your *current device*. iOS: install the app from Safari (Share → Add to Home Screen) first — the enable button will tell you if you're in a plain Safari tab where push can't run.
• Muted symbols — per-ticker push kill, for the one name that won't shut up.

Rule mapping reminder: every toggle here is *delivery-only* — none of it pauses your alert rules or scanner logic. Delete rules at /settings/alerts.

Preferences

• Theme — system / dark / light
• Default chart timeframe — what a fresh chart opens at (1m … weekly)
• Timezone display — your display clock; market times stay ET everywhere
• Show extended hours — toggles pre/post-market candles and extended-hours scanner quotes
• Auto-refresh — off freezes data until you refresh manually
• Top ticker bar — the scrolling strip across the top; comma-separated symbols, $-prefix for indices ($VIX, $DXY)
• Workspace — export/import your layout (charts, panels, drawer geometry) as a JSON file
• Hotkeys — per-action rebinding; click a binding, press the new combo, Esc cancels. Full list at Keyboard Shortcuts
• Reset progress — wipes local learning-state (wedge dismissals, tours, academy progress) after a typed confirmation
• Recording consent — opt out of session recording (PostHog Replay / heatmaps)

AI usage

Per-day counters for AI features (briefings, Q&A, digest) show on Pro/Terminal billing tab with bars that go amber at the cap. Terminal reads Unlimited.

Things you cannot do here (by design)

A couple of traps that were laid by earlier versions of this page and are gone now:

• There is no "browser notifications" toggle separate from device push — push *is* the OS notification channel. If you keep thinking they should be separate things, that's the old page talking; the merged version is device push only.
• There is no separate "alert email address" field: alert email goes to your account email. Change your account email on the Account tab.

Troubleshooting

I changed quiet hours and my phone still buzzed once. Two things: the save takes under a minute to propagate to the alert evaluator, and quiet hours block *push* only — a halted stock you watch will still notify you because halts are urgent.

My push subscription died after a browser cookie clear. Push subscriptions are per-browser-profile. Re-enable from Settings → Notifications.

A muted symbol still appears in the inbox. By design: symbol mute kills *push*, the inbox row stays (you muted the ping, not the record).

The theme toggle switch but pages keep resetting. System-pref is default. Lock it by picking dark or light explicitly.
