The severities below are the rule defaults; a recipient can override them. Monitoring evaluates about once a minute. **None** in a Waits column means no additional persistence delay, not immediate delivery on each trade. ## Spot bots and account liquidity | Rule or message | Condition | Waits | Default | | - | - | - | - | | MM / SPR / EQL / CSH is down | The strategy is exited. Read its exit reason and remaining orders. | 10 min | Critical | | The bid / ask side has no orders | A fresh observation shows an empty side for the running Spot MM. | 2 min | Critical | | Balance under floor | Quote or token value is below the account's applicable floor. | 5 min | Critical | | Envelope breach | Average depth across both sides is below the configured Autopilot target within its band. | 10 min | Critical | | Bid / Ask side thin | Bid-to-ask depth ratio within ±2% is below 0.4 or above 2.5. | 10 min | High | | Spread outside the contract | The market spread exceeds the configured Autopilot cap. | 5 min | High | | Spread bot is losing orders | Breaches reach 70% of Max lost orders, rounded up, before exceeding the allowed maximum. | None | High | | Equaller budget spent | A run allowance is exhausted while the strategy still reports running. | None | High | | Cashout cannot price an order | Price precision makes the computed ask zero or negative. | None | Critical | | Cashout is not selling | An eligible Cashout waiting reason persists, excluding the separate price-precision failure. | 15 min | Medium | These are account-scoped rules. A Spread or Cashout problem does not mean every strategy on that account stopped. For the exact bot response and next steps, open [MM errors](https://docs.ansio.trade/spot/mm-errors.md), [Spread errors](https://docs.ansio.trade/spot/spread-errors.md), [Equaller errors](https://docs.ansio.trade/spot/equaller-errors.md) or [Cashout errors](https://docs.ansio.trade/spot/cashout-errors.md). ## Futures | Rule or message | Condition | Waits | Default | | - | - | - | - | | FMM is down | The Futures strategy is exited. | 10 min | Critical | | Futures quotes blocked | A qualifying strategy error blocks quotes. The normal max-position allocation wait is excluded. | 2 min | High | | Futures available margin below 10% | Available margin divided by total margin is below 10%. | 1 min | High | | Futures account data is stale | Fresh derivatives data is unavailable while a Futures strategy or position requires it. | 1 min after stale detection | High | | Liquidation distance …% | Distance is below 15%. The alert itself does not close the position. | None | Critical | | Position past …% of limit | Distance from target divided by Max position size is at least 60%. | 5 min | High; Critical at 80% | Position and margin controls do not wait for these notification delays. Read [Futures errors](https://docs.ansio.trade/futures/errors.md) for the difference between a strategy guard and an alert. ## Price sources | Rule or message | Condition | Waits | Default | | - | - | - | - | | Price source changed / fell back to Market | A recorded source change to Market, or the applicable missing-source fallback condition. | None | Critical | | Rates frozen, waiting for a decision | The reference guard is holding the last accepted quote after a shock. | None | High | | Rates source unreachable | The external source is failing to provide a usable quote. | 1 min | Critical | These are account-scoped. Read the full detail to distinguish a manual source change, a fallback, a frozen quote and a missing quote. ![A failed reference with a No quote status and its selected exchange in the ANSIO demo.](https://mintcdn.com/ansio/TbUlSsAFRzZei_af/images/docs/source.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbUlSsAFRzZei_af\&q=85\&s=295faed7000a1b6245895cacd70f550f) An example of a source failure. The error record states what happened to the orders; that behavior is not the same for every guard policy. [Price sources](https://docs.ansio.trade/spot/price-source.md) explains where to read the binding, bid, ask and freshness. ## Autopilot and infrastructure | Rule or message | Condition | Waits | Default | Scope | | - | - | - | - | - | | Autopilot cannot hold the contract | The latest Autopilot action contains an escalation. | None | High | Account | | Autopilot: … recommendations | A current, unreviewed Assisted proposal has recommendations or changes to review. Nothing is applied by the notification. | None | High | Account | | Venue is not answering | The venue's relevant private connections remain unavailable. | 3 min | Critical | Venue | | Worker offline / Oracle is not reporting | The trading worker is missing, stopped or has a stale heartbeat while strategies require it. | 1 min after detection | Critical | Desk | The worker's heartbeat is considered stale at two minutes. That stale threshold is separate from the rule's one-minute wait. A working public ticker does not establish that the venue's private account connection works. ## Recovery before Resolved Some rules use a different recovery threshold so that a value hovering on the boundary does not repeatedly open and close the incident. | Incident | Recovery condition once active | | - | - | | Balance under floor | The relevant balances recover to at least 125% of their floors. | | Envelope breach | Depth recovers to at least 110% of the target. | | Side thin | The depth ratio returns to 0.5–2.0. | | Spread outside the contract | Spread returns below 90% of the cap. | | Liquidation distance | Distance reaches at least 20%. | | Position threshold | Distance from target falls below 50% of the limit. | After the rule clears, the condition must remain clear for **60 seconds**. Missing data does not count as recovery. ## DEX activity: large sales **DEX activity** monitors token sales into a selected pool independently of Autopilot and the bot's price source. In **Add monitor** or **Edit**, choose the client and pair, network, pool and token. Use **Check pool** to verify the token contract before enabling the monitor. **Use price-source pool** can fill the pool from the account's binding. | Setting | Effect | | - | - | | Minimum sale · USD | Selects which sales qualify. | | Minimum interval · minutes | Sets the interval between sale alerts for that monitor; supported range is 30–1,440 minutes. | | Enable monitoring | Starts watching new trades after saving. | | Pause | Stops that pool monitor without stopping the trading bot. | Checks run about once a minute. Only new trades after saving are tracked, and public trade pages can miss activity in very busy pools. **Large token sales in pool** is a Medium, event-based notification. It can summarize a batch of qualifying sales. It does not send ordinary repeats or a resolved message for an old sale. Telegram or Discord delivery preferences still apply.
