Security
Change Password
Enter your current password, then set and confirm a new one. Click Update Password to apply.
Use a strong, unique password that you do not reuse on other services.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
2FA protects your account with a time-based one-time code in addition to your password.
[Image placeholder: 2FA QR code and code input]
Enable 2FA:
Click Enable 2FA
The setup flow begins and a QR code is displayed.
Scan the QR code
Open Google Authenticator, Authy, or any TOTP app → tap + → Scan a QR code.
Enter the 6-digit code
Type the code shown in your authenticator app and click Verify.
Save your backup codes
Store the one-time backup codes somewhere safe and offline. Each code can only be used once.
Enable 2FA before connecting live funded accounts. If you lose access to your authenticator app without backup codes, account recovery will require identity verification.

Notifications
Configure exactly where and when Hextrade sends you alerts.
[Image placeholder: Notifications panel with channel and alert toggles]
Master Switch
The top toggle controls all notifications globally. Disable it to silence every alert without changing individual settings.
Delivery Channels
| Channel | How it works |
|---|
| Discord Webhook | Posts alerts to a channel via a webhook URL you configure |
| Discord DMs | Sends direct messages to your Discord account (requires Discord username in Profile) |
| Email Alerts | HTML email to your account email address |
Alert Types
Enable or disable triggers per event type across all active channels:
| Alert | Trigger |
|---|
| Trade Opened | A position opens on any connected account |
| Trade Closed | A position closes |
| Trade Error | Execution fails or is rejected |
| Connection Error | A broker connection drops |
| Account Updated | Account balance or status changes |
| System Alert | Platform-wide announcements |
Sound Alerts
Toggle browser audio playback on every trade execution. When enabled, adjust the Volume slider (0–100%).
Click Save Notification Settings to apply all changes.
Appearance
Personalize the dashboard to match your working style.
[Image placeholder: Theme picker grid]
Theme Color
Choose from available accent themes. The selected theme applies immediately across the entire dashboard.
Current Theme shows the active color swatch and name.
Motion & Effects
Toggle Enable Animations to control motion effects like snowflakes in seasonal themes (Christmas, Halloween). Disable for a cleaner, lower-distraction environment or to improve performance on slower devices.
API Token
Generate a secure token to access your Hextrade trade feed programmatically from external tools or scripts.
[Image placeholder: API Token panel showing active status]
Generate a token:
- Expand the API Token section.
- Click Generate new token.
- Copy the key immediately — it is shown only once for security.
- Store it in a secret manager or environment variable.
Rotate or revoke: Generate a new token at any time to invalidate the previous one.
Never commit your API token to a public repository or share it in Discord. Treat it like a password. If it is compromised, generate a new token immediately.
