Early-warning threshold

An early-warning threshold is a level you set below a hard limit — for example 80% of your daily loss — so you are alerted while there is still time to react.

It turns a rule from a breach alert into a heads-up. In Chartping every rule can carry an early-warning threshold, and presets ship disabled so you confirm every value yourself.
