Notifications and agent expiry

What the product tells you and when: fills, risk limits being hit, agent approvals approaching expiry, and gaps in the data feed.

Notifications exist for the things you cannot be expected to watch for. They are in-product and they cover four categories.

Copy activity
Positions opened and closed on your behalf, so the record is visible without reading the chain.
Risk events
A stop loss reached, a daily loss limit crossed, a follow paused by one of your own limits.
Agent lifecycle
An agent approval approaching its expiry, and the moment it expires and copying stops.
System
Anything about the engine's own health that affects you, including a detected gap in the trade feed for a trader you follow.

Agent expiry is worth understanding rather than reacting to. Approvals carry an expiry you chose when you authorized. As it approaches you are notified, and when it passes the agent is marked expired and copying stops cleanly rather than failing order by order. Re-authorizing from Settings restores it.

The last category matters more than it sounds. If a trader's activity feed has a hole in it, the honest response is to say so rather than to silently skip the trades inside it. The engine tracks how far it has processed for each trader you follow and raises a notification when it detects that something fell between two points, instead of leaving it in a log nobody reads.

The History tab is the other half of this. Notifications tell you about the moment; History tells you what actually happened across a follow's whole life.
