# MarketPilot AI Price Alerts

## Workflow
1. Require an exact symbol, level and direction (`above` or `below`).
2. Add an alert with `marketpilot alerts add --symbol <SYMBOL> --level <LEVEL> --direction above`.
3. Check supplied prices with `marketpilot alerts check --prices SYMBOL=PRICE,...`. Use only timestamps and prices from a named source.
4. Explain that alerts are one-shot and the local CLI must be run or scheduled by the user. This is not a hosted push-notification service.
5. State whether a price was manually supplied, retrieved from a public provider, or unavailable.

## Guardrails
- Do not claim continuous monitoring or guaranteed delivery.
- Do not create alerts with inferred thresholds.
- Do not interpret an alert as an entry/exit recommendation.
- Respect data delays and market-session gaps.
